A prison officer who tried to smuggle crack cocaine into prison in her underwear has had her jail term increased at the Court of Appeal.

Hannah Gaves, 27, from Bristol, was stopped on her way to work at HMP Erlestoke in Wiltshire in January last year with cannabis, five packets of tobacco and six grams of crack cocaine found in her pants.

She pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply a Class A and a Class B drug and attempting to bring tobacco into the prison.

Ms Gaves was sentenced to three years in prison at Salisbury Crown Court in August.

Following a hearing in London on Friday, Ms Gaves' sentence was increased to four years and eight months in jail.
