Woman had drugs in her bra

A CARE worker was jailed for a year yesterday after an Old Bailey court heard that police found cocaine stuffed down her bra.

Inez Hamilton, 63, of Harringay, north London, worked for Islington and Camden councils. But the jury heard that she added to her income by dealing in hard drugs. She said police had planted the drugs on her when they raided a house in Tottenham. But the jury found her guilty of possession of a class A drug with intent to supply. Detectives who found 16 grammes of cocaine, with a street value of pounds 1,600, in her bra, said that if the drug had been turned into crack it would have been worth more than pounds 6,000.
