TWO Carlisle drug dealers have been sentenced for a combined total of more than nine years after they were involved in the supply of crack cocaine and heroin.

Leanne Bewley, 43, and 47-year-old Lee Palmer, were both sentenced at Carlisle Crown Court yesterday.

Bewley, 43, of Grey Street, pleaded guilty at the city's crown court earlier in the month to possessing heroin with intent to supply on April 12.

At a previous hearing, she had admitted - along with Carlisle man, 47-year-old Lee Palmer - to possessing both heroin and crack cocaine with intent to supply. That crime was committed by the pair on August 7.

Lee Palmer was jailed for a total of five years and eight months and Bewley for 45 months.
