A female prison officer ran a lucrative drugs racket inside a London jail and took up to a dozen orders a day from an inmate using a smuggled mobile phone, a court heard.
Patricia Ollivierre, 30, was caught by a sniffer dog at Wormwood Scrubs and found with more than 17 grams of heroin and a large block of cannabis stashed in her car, jurors were told.
The guard, who had worked at the jail for several years, is alleged to have been in contact with an inmate arranging various drugs deals.
Southwark Crown Court heard that Miss Ollivierre has admitted misconduct in relation to making calls and text messages from an inmate's mobile telephone.
Nine Metropolitan police officers suspended over alleged property racket
Nine Metropolitan police officers have been suspended in connection with an alleged stolen property racket.
Anti-corruption officers swooped on Edmonton police station in north London yesterday, turning it into a crime scene, following an operation lasting several weeks.
Those under investigation are mainly Pcs attached to the local crime squad. Two more have been placed on restricted duties.
The investigation concerns the alleged taking of items from the property stores at the station - which hold items such as iPods recovered from robbers.
Listening probes and secret cameras are said to have been set up at the station to try and catch suspect officers.
The operation follows the recent jailing of a female civilian property officer at Edmonton who was caught setting fire to records.
The Met said there were no arrests.
Comment: It's nice to see that our forces of law and order are hard at work, even if it is only them getting involved in dishonest graft.
