A MUM was sentenced to unpaid work after police found cocaine at her home.

Catherine Walsh, 27, was arrested after police raided her home, in Newington Close, Southend, on June 13.

She told officers she had four wraps of the Class A drug in a cupboard.

Police confiscated four grams of the substance and Walsh was charged with possession.

She was handed 80 hours of unpaid work for the drugs charge, plus 20 hours for breaching a previous court order.

Walsh was also ordered to pay £85 costs and a £60 victim surcharge.
