A single mother who admitted possessing a large quantity of illegal drugs was given a conditional discharge.

Mother-of-two Rachel Green admitted possession of nearly 250 amphetamine pills and more than two grammes of the drug in powdered form when she appeared at Oxford Crown Court. Green, 30, claimed they belonged to her partner who had hidden them at their home in Mendip Heights, Didcot, without telling her.

She denied intending to sell the drugs. Green was given a three-year conditional discharge and ordered to pay £150 costs.
