A frustrated mother was due to appear in court today after trying to tackle suspected drug dealing in her neighbourhood.
Leanne Robertson (below), 22, of Hawthorn Avenue, Thornaby, was sick of seeing drugs and money exchanging hands right under her nose and "nothing being done to stop it".
But when her three-year-old daughter Megan witnessed it outside her own home, and asked what was going on, it was the final straw for Miss Robertson who decided to take the law into her own hands.
She was arrested for assault after becoming involved in a scuffle over alleged drug dealing on Tuesday night. Today she was due to appear before Teesside Magistrates' Court.
But she is backed by more than 20 of her neighbours who are threatening to sell their homes so they don't have to worry about their children finding drugs and needles in the street.
Residents claim police have failed to stop the drug dealing but were quick to arrest Miss Robertson when she tried to tackle the problem.

Most of the junkies in my little town are actually police informants. The police supply the junkies with seized smack in return for information about other criminals. It's utterly sickening.
