200 grammes of cannabis addressed to Co Antrim woman was intercepted in the post

A woman with an Antrim town address has been sentenced for attempting to possess cannabis.

Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena on Tuesday, was told that on August 2 last year a package containing 200 grammes of herbal cannabis was intercepted by Royal Mail.

It was addressed to the defendant and when police spoke to her she admitted to "having ordered" the cannabis.

Caitlin Harvey (22), of Corbally Park in Antrim, was at court. She had a record.

She had told police she "doesn't use cannabis any more" and the incident last year was a "turning point" and she is "now clean".

Deputy District Judge Sean O'Hare hoped that was the case and put the defendant on Probation for a year.
