Two enterprising teen drug dealers were caught red-handed by police as they made a dark alley drug deal in the back of a Toyota Yaris.
Police discovered Jennifer Shewan, 18, had been busily supplying cocaine in some of Sydney’s most prestigious postcodes when they caught her with a 17-year-old accomplice in the middle of a deal in June.
“Examination of (Shewan’s) iPhone shows her involvement in the supply of prohibited drugs, namely, cocaine, between the dates of May 26 and May 30,” police facts stated.
Shewan supplied cocaine in single gram quantities 12 times in Zetland, Randwick, Stanmore, Market City in Haymarket, Chiswick, Camperdown, Clovelly, the Intercontinental in Double Bay, Rose Bay, Maroubra and twice at the same Queens Park address.
“The offences are serious and carry a long term of imprisonment,” the police bail consideration document stated.
“There is a reasonable likelihood of a custodial sentence being imposed.”
Shewan will be sentenced at Sutherland Local Court on November 14 after she pleaded guilty to supplying a small quantity of drugs and knowingly taking part in prohibited drug supply.
Shewan was first busted on June 8 along with a 17-year-old accomplice after plainclothes police overheard a patron at JD’s Bar and Grill in Cronulla planning to buy cocaine.
The officers trailed the man to Shewan’s car, where the 17-year-old girl handed him three clear resealable bags containing 2.48g of cocaine in exchange for $800 in $50 notes.
“When the male exited the car police stopped him and both (the 17-year-old girl) and Shewan,” police facts stated.
“Police seized an Apple iPhone XR and Shewan provided the pin code.”
Further forensic examination revealed Shewan’s involvement in the prior drug supply.
The 17-year-old girl was found guilty of supplying a small quantity of prohibited drugs and sentenced to 150 hours of community service.
Shewan briefly found infamy on YouTube as a teen in 2013, racking up 163,000 views and more than 18,000 comments on a video in which she called out social media character MirandaSings.
In other videos she emulated faded pests, pranksters and performers The Janoskians with half-hearted, foul-mouthed shenanigans conducted at Bankstown Central shopping centre.
The Picnic Point woman now works as a secretary and cannot enter the suburb of Cronulla until the matter is resolved.
