COCAINE 'STASHED BY WPC'

A POLICE WOMAN kept a stash of cocaine to offer to pals after nights out, a court heard yesterday.

WPC Salena Holgate, 28, is said to have been seen chopping up lines of the drug at home before snorting it with a friend.

Holgate was arrested after allegedly offering Charlene Richardson the drug. The farmer's daughter then told her mother.

Charlene told the court: "I've taken cannabis at Salena's house before.

"They were sniffing coke that night. It was in a see-through bag. I could see white chunks. It would have been Salena who pulled the bag out."

Traces were found in the WPC's hair and on a credit card in her wallet, Manchester crown court heard.

Holgate stabled her horse at a farm run by Charlene's family - and the WPC claimed the allegation was made up after a row over a £20 fee.

Holgate, of Tyldesley, Greater Manchester, denies charges of supplying, offering to supply and possession of cocaine.

The trial continues.
