A 60-year-old woman has escaped jail after admitting to possession of class A drugs.

Kay Patricia Eden, of Dene Court, was sentenced to a total of six months in prison, suspended for 12 months, after admitting to possession of crack cocaine and heroin.

Magistrates in Basingstoke gave her a suspended sentence due to the serious nature of the offences and her previous convictions.

Eden was also ordered to pay a £115 victim surcharge and £20 Crown Prosecution costs.
