A Belfast woman who admitted smuggling £300,000 worth of cannabis into the city was given a three year suspended sentence yesterday. Judge James Brady told Margaret Black (28), he was taking a humanitarian" view of her case due to the illness of her eldest child.
Black's partner and the child's father, David Addis (27), of Joanmount Gardens, Belfast, was jailed for four years for his part in the smuggling operation from Spain. Both Black and Addis admitted smuggling the cannabis in December 1994.
