Cops find girl smack dealer with minge out

POLICE found a female drug dealer half- naked and holding a large bag of heroin when they busted an industrial unit.

Frances McQuade, 47, was caught trying to hide the smack when officers burst into the unit late at night.

They had detained her partner just moments before, outside the unit.

McQuade started a maintenance and repair business from the unit with her boyfriend and said she “panicked” when police entered the premises that night.

She claimed that when she went to the unit earlier there were bags of drugs lying on the floor and she had no idea how they had got there.

She claimed she was angry that the drugs were there as she was a former heroin addict and it was a temptation.

However, despite being upset she said she used some before police arrived.

They found her “in a state of undress” in the office.

In court, defence solicitor Peter Robertson asked McQuade why she had her trousers and underwear pulled down and was holding a bag of heroin.

She said: “I thought, ‘ I’m going to get the blame for this’. I stuck some down the side of my shoe. My dog was jumping about, I was worried it would bite into the drugs.”

At Dunfermline Sheriff Court, McQuade admitted that on February 23 she was concerned in the supply of diamorphine.

She was remanded in custody and will be sentenced on January 3.
