Couple locked up over doorstep drug dealing operation at their family home in Beeston

Officers found around £50,000 worth of cocaine, crack cocaine and heroin when they searched two houses in Beeston.

Mark McGregor and Samantha Rimmington were jailed for a total of more than seven years after pleading guilty to four counts of possessing a class A drug with intent to supply.

Leeds Crown Court heard West Yorkshire Police obtained a search warrant after an officer reported suspicious activity at one of their homes on Longroyd Avenue.

The officer observed people approaching the house and knocking on the door before a drug deal was done on the doorstep.

Officers went to the terraced house on July 21 last year.

Both defendants were in the property with their two young children.

The house was searched and cocaine worth more than £4,000 was recovered along with wraps of cocaine and heroin worth £650.

Large amounts of cash were also found in different parts of the house.

As the search was being carried out two men knocked on the door and asked for McGregor by his first name.
