Smirking for the camera as her mugshot is taken, this young woman wrenched control of a county lines drug gang from a former boyfriend when she was still a teenager.
Saleha Saed was just 18 when she took over the Fat Boy line, which brought huge amounts of buy Heroin online and crack cocaine into a seaside town.
She caused misery and fear in the wider community by recruiting youngsters to the gang and trafficking individuals to take part in the operation.
Evidence of her iron rule was apparent in a text message she sent to the former lover who she ousted as kingpin, fearlessly boasting to him: 'You're deluding yourself that the line is yours when it is truly mine.'

But she will serve the time in a young offenders' institution because she was so young when she committed the offences, Norwich Crown Court heard.
The Fat Boy line brought 3kg of heroin and crack from London to Great Yarmouth in Norfolk.
Those who blindly took orders from her included her latest boyfriend, Nathan Si, 21, who acted as 'babysitter' for the drugs, and Tremayne Ndikumana, 20, who held the phone line under her control. Both were jailed in a separate hearing last year.
Saed booked hotel rooms which were used for preparing the bulk purchases of drugs for sale to users and recruited 'youngsters' to 'do her bidding for her'.
Her links to human trafficking were uncovered by a police investigation after her arrest in June 2022 which found messages including an order about 'bringing in one of the young ones'.

Prosecutor Matthew Edwards told the sentencing hearing last week that the defendant, originally from east London, had taken over the running of the line from a much older former boyfriend.
Gordon Carse, defending, claimed his client had not been in charge of the gang, saying: 'It is not accepted that she was at the top of the enterprise, albeit she was at an elevated level.'
Describing how she had also been exploited into joining the operation and was only months older than the people she trafficked, he added: 'Common sense tells you she did not set up this line. She stepped into it and was groomed to do so.'
Judge Anthony Bate accepted she had not been instrumental in setting up the line, saying: 'Her role was significant and she had managed others but she had been a trusted lieutenant, rather than establishing the line'.
But he added that she had been involved in a 'large scale' drug conspiracy.
Saed was described as the 'owner' of the line when the other gang members were sentenced in December.
Ndikumana, from Essex, was given four years in a young offenders institution after admitting two counts of supplying Class A drugs.
Tom Copeland, defending, said he had been drawn into the illicit lifestyle through peer pressure and had a 'chaotic' lifestyle as a care leaver.
Si, of London, pleaded guilty to the same offences and was jailed for three years and four months. His lawyer, Tom Ford, blamed his client's involvement on his naivety.
Sergeant Samuel Scott said: 'We will always target drugs lines and the exploitation of children in our county.
'We have worked with officers in the Met Exploitation Team to ensure we bring those involved to justice.'
