A DRUG smuggler caught taking cocaine, cannabis and heroin into a prison is now serving her own sentence.

Helen Grant, 46, of Welwyn Garden City, was caught with the drugs as she visited an inmate at Peterborough Prison in Cambridgeshire on 27 July last year.

The Hyde Valley resident is now serving a three and a half year prison term after admitting to two counts of supplying Class A drugs, supplying cannabis, and possessing a Class C drug with intent to supply at Peterborough Crown Court.

I think you're very nasty putting a picture of Ms Grant on the web site - does this also appears in the paper ( I do not know as I don't get to see 'hard copy') - I do not see this kind of behaviour up here in the North. The section 'in court' in my local paper does not expose someone's identity in the way of means of a picture!

this is for chelsey
Helen is not a 'dirty scummm' as you put it, and how can you make such a comment on someone you dont even know ?
I have known Helen for many years now, and this was totally out of character for her, she is actually a very lovely person, so 'chelsey' as the saying goes, 'dont judge a book by it's cover', i like to find out facts before i comment on anything !

chelsey, you dont even know the woman so why dont you get back to your own life. Stop making judgments about someone who is actually so lovely and made one of the biggest mistakes of her life and is NOT a criminal. you dont know the circumstance so dont be writing foolish things like that. Makes me sick.

So the bleeding hearts are at it again. Sorry, Anon, but this woman IS a criminal because she has been convicted of a criminal offence. We DO know the circumstances - she smuggled drugs into Peterborough Prison. And as for SALS, if you can't do the time then don't do the crime.

The two whingers who have posted on this forum would most likely be the very first to complain if they were on the receiving end of crime. Yet they defend somebody who has been found guilty of criminal activity, regardless of whether or not she is 'lovely' or otherwise. As regards the publishing of her picture, if it is out of order to do so then let her sue the paper for damages. Stop complaining - this apperas to be the much-maligned British judicial system at its best.

I have known Helen for many years, she has cared for me and supported me stood by me through tough times. Maybe if someone had been there for her she would not have been put that situation. She may have committed a crime but you have no idea how many people that woman puts before herself. And is it really the justice system at it's best??!! What a joke!! Murderers rapists and abusers walk free every day. Helen admitted her crime as IS doing her time!! So why punish her more??? Have you ever though of her family?? The people being punished the most are Helens family. Pete can you really say you haven't done anything wrong in your whole life that went unpunished??? - Horseshit!! You're talking out of your arse about something you know nothing about

I also have known Helen for many many years and IS A LOVELY GIRL I've spent many fun evenings with her and have never had drugs given or offered to me by her - and I totally agree with 'A close friend' helen has put up with so much crap in her life and ALWAYS puts the wants and needs of others first - this time it's fallen her. She's been a very hard working mother, always in employment never a scrounger, looking after her boys and I totally agree - oh, go kill someone and you'll only get a handful of years. As said - she is doing her time - and I'm glad to say that we're writing to each other and people who DON'T know her should just shut up and go away!
