Rebecca McLoughlin Teesside Crown Court

Rebecca McLoughlin, 25, was locked up for two years at Teesside Crown Court in October after she admitted possessing more than a kilo of amphetamine with intent to supply.
McLoughlin, of Briar Road, Thornaby, challenged the sentence, maintaining her punishment was excessive.
And her jail term was cut to 12 months when her case went to London’s Appeal Court.
The court heard the mother-of-two was prosecuted after police searched her home and found 1.4 kilos of amphetamine in the fridge freezer. The drugs haul had a potential street value of over £14,000, but was heavily adulterated and of limited purity.
