"You need to stop": Woman, 20, caught out with incriminating £6,500 haul after she 'panicked'... but is spared jail after startling admission

A woman who was caught trying to smuggle £6,500 of drugs into a music festival after she 'panicked' has been spared jail. Mia Jensen, 20, was caught with a haul of MDMA, ketamine and cocaine hidden inside chewing gum tubs as she tried to sneak into Creamfields via the staff entrance.

But after being caught, she told police she had been 'forced' to take the drugs in by her boyfriend, who was looking to sell them in the festival.

She claimed the man - known only as Gary - had told her to take the drugs into the event promising she would not be searched at the staff gate.

But after being turned away she ''panicked'' and went to the main entrance knowing she would be caught red handed. But she was given a suspended sentence after the court heard the startling admission that she had become ''chronically'' hooked on ketamine over a six year period from when she was just 13.
