Whitney and Zo Denham were making thousands of dollars a week, selling cocaine to people who would text them a location before meeting up to make a deal.
The husband and wife duo admitted to running the lucrative coke business for several months, pleading guilty to multiple supply charges in Campbelltown Local Court.
Zo Denham, 34, began to engage with an undercover police officer in November 2019 via text message, according to agreed police facts.
The pair agreed to meet up in the Raby Tavern carpark, where Zo Denham pulled five bags containing white powder out of a ‘Kevin Murphy’ hair product case in the centre console.
The undercover officer paid $1200 for the 3.43 grams of cocaine, which Denham counted and accepted.
Police surveillance on the husband and wife team then increased.
Between January 15 and February 15, Zo Denham conducted 85 individual cocaine sales using his mobile phone to a total of 93 grams, estimated to be worth $33,700.
In this time, four transactions of 13 grams were made to the undercover officer, accordign to court documents.
On January 24, the undercover officer texted Zo Denham to meet in the Liverpool Catholic Club.
“Still good for today?” The police officer texted. “Heyy, Yeh still good. u good?” Denham replied.
The officer noticed Zo Denham driving a Nissan Dualis to make the deal, with his wife in the passenger seat before $1200 was exchanged for 3.45 grams of coke.
The mum-of-two, who was on Centrelink at the time of the offences, was also caught making multiple cocaine sales to the public and to the undercover officer.
Police arrested the pair in March and charged them with supplying cocaine in Raby, Prestons, Moorebank, Hoxton Park and at Hinchinbrook.
In Campbelltown Court, Zo Denham pleaded guilty to three counts of supply prohibited drug, two counts of supply prohibited drugs on an ongoing basis and knowingly deal with the proceeds of crime.
Whitney Denham, 33, pleaded guilty to two counts of supply prohibited drugs on an ongoing basis.
Several additional supply charges were listed as back-up charges for sentencing.
The pair will be sentenced in the Campbelltown District Court in December.
