Mansfield woman found with £4,000 of drugs in 60 bags denies dealing
A Mansfield woman who was caught with around £4,000 of cannabis and amphetamine denies dealing the drugs, a jury has heard.
Maria Puculek was found in her home on Milton Street when police swooped, on March 11, 2021, said Denney Lau, prosecuting.
"She accepted all the drugs belonged to her," he said.
"The question is simply whether all those drugs were for her own personal use or whether she was dealing."
The cannabis was found in 61 deal bags while the amphetamine was found in 41.
"If it is for personal use why would anyone package it in separate deals?" Mr Lau asked the jury. "The only logical conclusion is that it was packaged for sale."
He said a financial investigator discovered £14,150 in cash had been deposited in her bank account, and argued it was based on drug sales.
Puculek, 40, of previous good character, denied possessing of class B drugs with intent to supply at a previous hearing.
The trial continues.
