A young mum has appeared in court after a drug dealing operation led police to her Fartown home.
Claire Summers’ home was searched as part of a police operation into the supply of drugs and firearms in West Yorkshire.
Officers kept a man under surveillance and he was observed going into the house in Corby Street.
He was arrested and police searched this address on April 11.
Summers, a mum-of-one, was present and identified herself as a tenant.
Andy Wills, prosecuting, told Kirklees magistrates: “Within a cellar area two tubs of cannabis were found. Also taken were a number of mobile phones, class A drugs and some other paraphernalia linking the people at that address to a drug dealing operation.”
Each of the tubs contained 296 grams of cannabis and had an estimated street value of up to £6,000.
Summers, 22, said that her partner had brought the drugs into the address two days previously and she knew that they were there.
Mr Wills added: “The mobile phones were forensically examined and had some messages that showed there was a drug dealing operation.
“None of these were linked to Miss Summer’s but she had knowledge of the cannabis and it was given to her partner by someone else”.
Summers pleaded guilty to possession of a class B drug with intent to supply it.
Emily Price, mitigating, described her client’s involvement in a wider drug dealing operation as ‘limited’.
She said: “She was given very little detail about where they came from. She very stupidly allowed her partner to keep them in the house.”
Magistrates ordered a report from probation staff before sentencing Summers.
