Woman caught with £33,000 of Cocaine has sentence cut by almost two years

A cocaine smuggler from the UK caught with £33,000 of the drug as she got off the ferry has had her sentence cut by almost two years.

Dominique Carline of Norris Road in Chester was jailed for six years and nine months in October 2019 after she admitted producing the class A drug.

But at appeal, her advocate pointed out Carline had cooperated with police and named the man behind the operation.

Judge of Appeal Storey and Deemster Montgomerie said her prison term had been excessive, and reduced it to five years.
