A criminal who made heroin deals in an alleyway while his three-year-old son sat on his shoulders has been jailed.
Brian Mitchell, 37, was part of a drugs gang in Blyth, Northumberland, who were caught by undercover officers dealing just yards from a children's Sure Start centre.
The gang of eleven were led by 46-year-old Dawn Brown, who dealt wraps of heroin from a Kinder egg stashed in her bra.
Brown, Mitchell and three others were jailed at Newcastle Crown Court this week, while another six gang members were sentenced for their crimes.
Mitchell, who also dealt diazepam, admitted supplying drugs and was jailed for four years.
The court heard how undercover officers arranged deals to catch the gang after making contact through a heroin addict they found rooting through bins.
They arranged a meeting in a hotel, where the addict used a police officer's phone to set up a meeting.
The gang then carried out a series of deals with the police officers next to the Sure Start centre in Blyth.
Describing on of the deals, made on 1 July 2013, prosecutor Jolyon Perks said: 'She [Brown] arrived at the Sure Start cut, pulled a Kinder egg from her bra and handed over two £10 wraps of heroin.
