A mum who sprayed air freshener to try to disguise the smell of £100,000 of cannabis must pay back her ill-gotten gains.
Jasmine Vaughan-Jones, 31, and her partner Ian Kennedy, 42, were caught moving 9.5kg of cannabis from Liverpool to Wirral.
The smell coming from their van was so strong that police stopped the vehicle in Bootle and discovered 14 bin bags full of drugs.
Prosecutors said when officers halted the pungent van, Vaughan-Jones had clearly tried to mask the smell with an aerosol .
