La Moye Prison’s CCTV caught grandmother-of-five Grace Ahier, of Rue Le Masurier, St Saviour, letting her son take something from her coat and put it in his sock while she visited him in the prison. The package, which had been missed by the prison’s routine search, turned out to contain 207 10 mg tablets of the class C drug hidden inside the Kinder Egg case.
On Friday, the Magistrate’s Court sentenced her to a three-month suspended prison sentence after hearing that she had been given the drugs to take to her son by an unknown man.
Ahier was spared jail because of the ‘exceptional’ circumstances of the case. Instead, she was given a three-month suspended prison sentence and warned that if she were to reoffend within 12 months she would go to jail.
She had earlier admitted one charge of possessing the drugs with the intent to supply at her home between 25 and 26 January and one charge of supplying the drugs to her son on 26 January.
