A DARLINGTON drug dealer was jailed for six years yesterday for selling heroin from his home and from a neighbour's house two doors away.

Police filmed addicts buying heroin from Mark Wilson's home in Chandos Street.

They also filmed him using the house of his neighbour, Rebecca Mullaney, between August last year and January this year.

Teesside Crown Court heard that Wilson had been jailed for 30 months in 1997 for being concerned in the supply of heroin, and he had also been jailed for four years for robbery.

Police raided his home on October 1 and recovered heroin from a drawer under a bed, and they also found traces of heroin and silver foil wraps in the kitchen.

Wilson was in Mullaney's house and they seized £154 cash from him.

Mullaney, 25, confirmed that Wilson visited her address almost every day.

Wilson and Mullaney were shown film of the operation and neither made any reply.

David Lamb, representing Wilson, said his client had pleaded guilty on the first available occasion.

He said: "He was a heroin addict supplying to other addicts to feed his habit."

Rod Hunt, defending Mullaney, said that she felt under pressure to allow dealing in her house. Wilson was jailed for six years after he pleaded guilty to six charges of supplying heroin, and one of possession with intent to supply.

Mullaney was jailed for 18 months after she admitted permitting her premises to be used for supplying heroin.
