A WOMAN has admitted allowing her home to be used as a drug dealing den.

Police found Caroline Duke’s then home on Algernon Street in Fairfield was being used as a base for drug dealers selling heroin and crack cocaine during a raid by officers in December 2015.

Nearly four years later, the 47-year-old – now of Winmarleigh Street in the town centre – was handed a 12-month community order by judge Steven Everett at Chester Crown Court on Tuesday, November 19 after admitting two counts of permitting a premises to be used for the supply of class A drugs and possession of cannabis.
