A mum-of-two stored heroin and crack cocaine at her house for her ex. Chantelle Pridding's home was raided by cops from GMP's Serious Organised Crime Unit in April 2021.
Eagle eyed officers spotted a loose panel in the 42-year-old's kitchen. Inside was a black bag containing a loaded gun, Manchester Crown Court heard.

"There is evidence of a sexual relationship between the pair," Ms Williams added. Reinertsen was jailed in April last year for possession of the gun and ammunition after his DNA was traced on the 100-year-old revolver.

He said Priddings has
