Deirdre Jenkins, 45, was caught drug dealing out of the store and post office she ran in the rural village of Ffostrasol, West Wales. Cops discovered her operation after she refused any more "coke on tick" to one customer, who blew the whistle and told police. She even gave up to £3,000 worth of the Class A drug on credit at her post office and village store in rural south-west Wales, a court was told. Ian Ibrahim, defending, told Swansea crown court that Jenkins, who has now lost the shop, started dealing after she "relapsed back into drug use".
