A pair of drug dealers who made £80,000 from selling heroin to fellow addicts have been ordered to repay just a fraction of their profits.

James Martin and Kelly Woodward ran the operation out of their home in Heathfield, Newton Abbot, with him running the paperwork and her delivering drugs on a moped.

They were caught with £11,000 cash and police traced the movement of large amounts of cash through Martin’s bank accounts.

They both received suspended prison sentences and were ordered to undertake drug rehabilitation after they admitted drug dealing at Exeter Crown Court last year.

Martin, aged 45, and Woodward, aged 34, of Lower Cannon Road, Heathfield, were brought back to Exeter Crown Court under the Proceeds of Crime Act.

Judge David Evans approved an agreed order which set Martin’s benefit from crime at £78,543.40 and Woodward’s at £1,295.50.

A financial investigation has shown that their available assets are only a fraction of that figure.

The judge ordered Martin to repay £12,274 and Woodward to repay £745. These sums do not include £11,045 cash which was seized when their home was raided in December 2015.

Martin will serve a year in prison and Woodward two months if the money is not repaid within three months.

A Ford Focus car which was seized from Martin during the police investigation forms part of his assets and will be sold for around £4,500.

Mr Paul Dentith, defending, said Martin wants to keep the car and has proposed that his father buys it from the police. He said both defendants agree to the order.

In the earlier case, Martin and Woodward admitted being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and the possession of criminal property. Woodward also admitted possession of heroin with intent to supply on December 23, 2015.

They were both jailed for 18 months, suspended for 18 months, and ordered to receive 12 months drug rehabilitation and 25 days supervision

One or other of them were found with drugs, money, or other incriminating evidence three times during December 2015.

They used the cut-off ends of plastic gloves to wrap the drugs and were found with a ’bury bag’, apparently designed to enable then to hide their stash underground.

There were lists of customers with figures next to them which may have indicated at least eight people owing sums of £10 to £160.

Martin was at home on his own at the time of the first raid on December 10, 2015, when £7,930 cash, the bury bag, scales, phones, dealers’ lists and two pipes were seized.

Woodward was arrested six days later on suspicion of money laundering and foil with a brown residue and £410 cash were seized.

She was stopped again a week later in the centre of Newton Abbot while delivering heroin on a moped. She tried to swallow 14 wraps hidden in a glove but they were seized by police. They had an estimated value of £21 and she had £295 cash.
