Dear Mr Strachan,

I am shocked today, to learn of one of the biggest miscarriages of justice I have come across in a long time. Yes, it is the Hexham Police Force at it’s worst again. But Mr Strachan, it is you, they are letting down, and it is the good name of the Northumbria Police which is being besmirched. Naturally, I am putting all of this in my book, and I have sent copies of my latest information away to the publishers, because I do not trust the Police in Hexham, at all. They really are capable of anything, and the information which has come my way, is from one of the Hexham Police who is fed up with the way things are going, and ashamed of the police who are organising this shoddy behaviour.

Please find a copy of a letter, written in August of 2004, which I personally took to the police station in Hexham, believing the police would do something about it. But they did not, however, through persistence by some of the residents in our street, the police finally did take action towards the end of last year, and Terry Woods was eventually charged with a whole string of crimes, they even had two witnesses, young men, one of whom works in the George Hotel only 300 yards from where I live, who admitted that Terry was a cocaine dealer - among all the other things he had done, including the burglaries.

Well, I believe he was in Court on the 10th of this month, and got off with everything, and was fined £100, - so much for justice, none of the witnesses were called, there were four altogether, but to make matters worse, a policeman informed a neighbour, who happened to be one of the two neighbours who were also going to be witnesses at his trial, that Terry had received a payment of £317.00 for tipping off the drug squad, about two young people who were using Cannabis in West Woodburn, and he could only do that because he moved there at the end of last year.

I am personally going to the village where he lives, and I am going to tell them everything we know about him, in the village pub and the local shop, plus I will visit his mother and inform her of what he has been up to. You see she lives opposite him and is a very nice woman. I have decided to stop paying my fines, from my being caught with Cannabis, because I will not have any monies I have to spend, supporting a Police Service, who use the money to pay Cocaine dealers, I am thoroughly disgusted at this turn of events.

The neighbour in question, who received the information from the police is willing to speak to you about it - he was also burgled by Terry, (who is the epitome of the "friendly Con-man") and incidentally, Terry poisoned the animals belonging to the children in that house, but he will only speak to you, and will do so - in his own home, but with a witness, to prove what he is saying, because none of us trust the police in this region, any more. I am so sorry you are getting all these problems, just as you are about to retire, but please, for goodness sake, prove to the public that justice does exist.

I wish to reiterate that I will not be paying off any more fines, in protest, and will be going to the press about this after my court case. Because as you are aware, I have been on the Television in Great Britain and Ireland, but in the media - world wide, in fact, if you put my name on the internet, you will find there are nearly 1,000 media outlets which have covered my story "Grandma Eats Cannabis" in at least 18 countries around the world, and at the moment I am being listened too, and the media are coming to the Crown Court in Newcastle to find out the result of my Court case in March, which is when they will receive a copy of all this information about the Hexham Police Force.

I am too old for all this nonsense, good gracious I am only 4 years away from being 70, and personally feel that Cocaine dealers are more dangerous than little old ladies teaching her sick friends and neighbours to be pain free. Is it the policy of the police to strike up deals with Cocaine dealers, so that they can just sit back in the police station and wait for the information to come in from these dealers, knowing the police will give them the money to keep up their Cocaine habit?

I am tired Mr Strachan, this should not be happening. Not at the beginning of the 21st Century, there are only two officers in Hexham which I trust, and they are DC Thompson and his boss, who came on the first raid, but I will never let another policeman in my house, as long as I live.
