Kirsty Sansum, 30, avoided jail after being caught with three kilograms of cocaine at a motorway service station but social media users swooned over her when police shared her mugshot
A female drug dealer has bagged a load of fans after cops posted her glam mug online. Kirsty Sansum, 30, managed to dodge prison even though she had three kilos of cocaine at a motorway service stop.
But when the police shared her pic together with her co-criminals, people on social media were all over it. Sansum, sporting a grey hoodie and rocking a top bun, gazed into the lens like she was on a photoshoot.
One fan said: “She’s a looker” while another quipped: “A really attractive bunch – and easily recognizable. A happy ending for Xmas.”
Sansum and her friend John Rogers, 29, were questioned at Strensham Services on the M5, not far from Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, back on March 11. Police found their stash in a shopping bag tucked under the front seat. A dig through their phones showed they were in partnership with Kingsley Williams, 28, and Aaron Russell, 30, slinging drugs.
They all admitted their crimes with cocaine and were sentenced this month. Rogers has been sentenced for five years and three months, Williams for six years and nine months, and Russell’s been sent down for six years.
But Sansum was sentenced with a two-year suspended sentence, plus nine months of drug rehab and 100 hours of unpaid community work.
The judge ordered Russell to forfeit £1,400 and a snazzy Rolex under Section 27 of the Misuse of Drugs Act. Detective Inspector Matt Phillips from Gloucestershire Constabulary said: “This was a significant conspiracy to bring thousands of pounds worth of drugs into our county.”
He added: “These drugs would have eventually ended up on our streets, bringing misery to the lives of our communities.”
