SUSPECTS arrested during a wave of drugs raids across Greenock sold class A narcotics to undercover police, it is alleged.
Dealing accused Alison Jannetts, 44, and a 17-year-old youth are charged with multiple counts between them of supplying cocaine to covert officers.
Co-accused Robert Meechan, 56, and Grant Watters, 23, were among a total of seven people captured amid dawn drugs swoops at Ann Street, South Street, Wellington Street, Brachelston Street, Nicolson Street and Drumfrochar Road last Friday.
Jannetts — who has been locked up following a court appearance — is said to have supplied cocaine to one officer on four separate occasions at her second-floor flat on Ann Street.
Prosecutors say she committed the alleged offences on January 19 and 25 and on February 8 and 13.
The 17-year-old suspect, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, is charged with supplying the drug to the same undercover officer on February 9.
He is also accused of being involved in serious and organised crime along with Jannetts, Meechan and three others at addresses at Prospecthill View, Ann Street, Wellington Street, Hay Street and Branchton Road between December 15 last year and February 14.
It is alleged that the teenager was involved in the continuous sale and supply of controlled substances at numerous locations.
He is further charged with breaching conditions of bail granted to him last September by having dogs in public which were not on a leash or muzzled.
The Crown says he committed these alleged offences at Ann Street on four occasions in January and February.
Meechan, of Wellington Street, is charged with being concerned in the supply of heroin and Watters, of Drumfrochar Road, is said to have had possession of cocaine with intent to supply.
All four accused appeared from custody at the sheriff court on Monday afternoon and made no plea through lawyers Aidan Gallagher, Amy Spencer, Paul Keenan and Derek Buchanan during a petition hearing in private.
Sheriff James Varney continued matters for further examination.
Meechan, Watters and the 17-year-old were allowed bail, with a date for their next appearance to be confirmed.
Jannetts is due back in court again next week.
In a separate petition case, Charles Buntine, 39, of the Inverclyde Centre, appeared on charges of supplying heroin and cocaine to undercover police at an address on Mount Pleasant Street on January 17.
Co-accused Barry Malloy, 21, of South Street, is charged with concerned in the supply of heroin and cocaine at South Street and Murdieston Street.
Both men made no plea through solicitor Mr Gallagher, had their cases continued for further examination and were allowed bail.
A date for their next court appearance is to be confirmed.
