A WOMAN was caught with thousands of pounds worth of cocaine and ecstasy after running a drug dealing operation with her lover.
Grace Mort, 25, and Jacob Kennedy, 20, stashed the drugs in an annex at their home in Barry, Wales.

The couple have now pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply cocaine and MDMA, and being concerned in the supply of cocaine.
But Mort avoided jail and was instead handed an 18-month sentence, suspended for 18 months.
Prosecutor Abdallah Barakat said both defendants sought to gain “significant financial advantage”.
Police raided their home on August 28 and discovered more than £15,000 worth of class A drugs.
The illicit goods included over 50g of cocaine with a 78 per cent purity – worth up to £7,200 – and 38 ecstasy tablets worth a total of £8,700.
A number of mobile phones were also seized that exposed the couple’s drug dealing operation.
On one occasion, Kennedy messaged Mort and asked her to “bring two 0.5g deals”.
He also messaged her moaning: “I’m just someone who gives you sniff whenever you want it.”
Kennedy also complained: “You can sniff my work but not answer your phone.”
Police also discovered a tick list which included customer names and money they owed.
The court was told Mort was directed by Kennedy to weigh drugs and would bring him cocaine.
Kennedy will be sentenced at Cardiff Crown Court on a later date.
