AN EDENBRIDGE woman caught hiding drugs inside her bra has been given a conditional discharge.

Brenda Jones, 22, had been a passenger inside a Mercedes car in Edenbridge, attracting the attention of police.

When police saw something thrown out of the passenger window, they stopped the car and searched Jones.

Inside her bra they found 1.5 grams of cannabis and 26.4 grams of amphetamines.

Jones told police she had paid £10 for the cannabis and £120 for the amphetamines.

Jones admitted the charges when she appeared at Sevenoaks Magistrates' Court.

Sasha Alexander, defending, said: "She knew the drugs were illegal and accepts there was some stupidity in buying them."

Ms Alexander said Jones had a difficult home life with a recently deceased aunt and bedridden grandfather.

She added: "A friend was aware (Jones) wasn't sleeping well and offered amphetamines to her.

"She decided to buy enough for six months and wanted to use them to stay awake."

Magistrates conditionally discharged Jones for two years and told her to pay costs of £85.
