Chantelle Jackson, 37, and her 34-year-old partner Joshua Harrison (pictured on left) were arrested in a drug raid on the family's home in Poynton, Cheshire, just north of the Peak District. Both Jackson and Harrison pleaded guilty to being worried about class A and class B drugs between September 4, 2022 and 2023 at Chester Crown Court. After hearing that Jackson was'scared to please' her boyfriend due to domestic violence, sentencing judge Patrick Thompson said she had been behaving as a "secretary" to Harrison.

Sebastiano Gjoni, 23, and Skelidano Koliqi, 26, (pictured together right) were arrested after being caught on a freezing rain in the village of Alderley Edge in Cheshire's 'footballer belt' in January this year. After hearing noises emanating from downstairs at 8 p.m., police were alerted of the raid. 999 was dispatched by the property's inhabitants. The victims yelled "robbers, Robbers" and yelled in their beds before police arrived 13 minutes later and discovered the defendants in a freezing ditch. According to a court, Gjoni (pictured below inset) and Koliqi (pictured left and top inset) had sneaked into the UK illegally in the hopes of finding work, but after being arrested by police, the 23-year-old said, 'I'm glad we were captured.' It's freezing here. We have nowhere to go.'

Catarina Melo (left), 23, was arrested after promising to take the large amount to the Cheshire festival (inset) last year on behalf of a drug dealer. Security staff were spotted strolling past amnesty bins and posters alerting of the risks of smuggling drugs into the festival, only to be identified by sniffer dogs. She was awarded a Pastry Award from the Craft Guild of Chefs just a month after her arrest in August last year for her work in the kitchen (right). Melo, a Portuguese immigrant from Isleworth, West London, was sentenced to two and a half years in Chester Crown Court for two and a half years after she pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply.

Leanne Leadbetter (left), 38, embarked on a binge-fueled rampage in which she smashed up her partner Christopher Boscoe's (right) brand new TV set and hurled pots, pans, and crockery. Mr Boscoe, 44, who went berserk about the Cheshire farm, told the operator she had been shaming his house before adding as an afterthought: 'I forgot to mention, she also stabbed me.' However, two allegations of serious bodily harm and assault from a previous incident were dismissed after Mr Boscoe refused to give a statement. Leadbetter confessed to criminal responsibility and was sentenced to an 18-month community order with the condition that she completes 35 days of probation with the probation service and enrolls in a six-month alcohol education program at Chester Crown Court.

After finding she had been reported to the authorities for a dispute with her daughter, Sarah Janion, 37, was caught on a doorbell video yelling foul mouthed abuse at childminder Stacey Janion. Janion (pictured arriving at court, left) yelled: 'Get the f** out here,' be a woman,' stop being a f---out,' when the victim cowered inside her house, refusing to open her front door. When police arrived on the scene in Runcorn, Cheshire, divorcee Janion denied she meant no wrong, but inquiries found she was in violation of a suspended prison term imposed last year after she hurled a vase at her boyfriend's head when he was inebriated.
