TWO beauticians were busted trying to smuggle £6,500 worth of cocaine and ecstasy into a top dance festival.
Erin Hobdell, 21, from Crookston, Glasgow, and Kira McNicol, 23, from Prestwick, Ayrshire, were pounced on by police at the Creamfields Festival after a sniffer dog raised the alarm.
Hobdell was caught with 42 knotted plastic bags hidden in her waistband containing 26 grams of cocaine worth £4100, as well as 2.43 grams of MDMA powder valued at £400, and 96 MDMA tablets worth £960.
While McNicol had 143 ecstasy tablets stashed inside her privates worth £1,490.
But the duo were spared jail after a judge accepted they were “pressured” into acting as mules by other punters on their bus.
The pair had travelled 230 miles from their homes to attend Creamfields festival in Runcorn, Cheshire in 2022 with a group of their friends.
