A “dial-a-dealer” Sydney mum has been caught selling cocaine out of her car with her three small children — including a baby — sitting in the back seat.

The single mother, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was also found with bags of ecstasy and ketamine, as well as a wad of cash, in her Toyota Aurion sedan when she was arrested on a Saturday night in Manly.

The western Sydney mum’s car was pulled over near Manly Wharf by officers from the Northern Beaches Police proactive crime team just moments after they saw her sell a $300 bag of cocaine to a female customer in Victoria Pde.

Manly Local Court heard on Wednesday that shocked officers found her three children, all aged under three, in the car’s back seat.

The unemployed woman, aged in her 20s, has pleaded guilty to supplying a prohibited drug, dealing with property that is the proceeds of crime, and three counts of deemed drug supply.

Police outlined, in a fact sheet tendered to court, that officers saw her Toyota reverse into a driveway in Victoria Pde just before a woman, speaking on a mobile phone, got into the front passenger seat.

Officers saw the woman leave the car between five and 10 seconds later and walk towards Manly Wharf.

Police pulled the car over on East Esplanade just minutes later.

When asked why she was in Manly, she told police she had just “dropped off her cousin”, according to the police fact sheet.

But after questioning, the mother told officers she had sold a small bag of cocaine to the woman seen in her car for $300.

Police then walked her and her three children, with the assistance of a female officer, to Manly Police Station.

Other officers searched her car and found five small plastic bags of cocaine, four bags of MDMA (ecstasy), and three bags of ketamine contained in a purse located in the centre console.

The purse also contained $600 in cash.

She told officers, according to the fact sheet, that she believed the bags contained “cocaine”, “M” and “K”.

Magistrate Robyn Denes ordered that a pre-sentence report be prepared before the woman returns to court in late October.

She continued the woman’s bail in the interim.
