Tamworth 'ice castle': Rebecca Hanshaw pleads guilty to drug supply and weapons charges in Tamworth | Strike Force Radius

Rebecca Joan Hanshaw walked into Tamworth District Court for the first time on Monday afternoon, after earlier signalling her intention to admit to some of the allegations levelled at her.

The Leader can reveal Hanshaw pleaded guilty to two charges - namely supplying more than an indictable quantity of methylamphetamine between September 18, 2018, and May 29, last year; as well as selling a prohibited weapon to a person not authorised to possess it on March 18, 2019.

"Guilty," she replied to both charges.

As part of negotiations with the DPP, charges of supplying fentanyl between 2018 and her arrest in 2019; as well as supplying a prohibited weapon and ammunition on March 22, 2019, will also be taken into account in sentencing.

Legal Aid solicitor Rae Parker had earlier said the case wasn't ready for sentence, just yet.

"Our application is for a further adjournment," she told the court, initially asking for a November date before October was touted.

"I'm happy for it to be, we would be otherwise ready.

"I think the Crown is actually waiting for a co-[accused] to come up from the local court."

Acting Judge Jonathan Williams adjourned the case for sentencing to later this year.

"Bail is to continue," he said.

Hanshaw was one of the first arrested in the police sting, code-named Strike Force Radius, which saw Oxley officers raid her Petra Avenue unit in South Tamworth, which police claim was dubbed the 'ice castle' by the alleged ringleaders.

Hanshaw - who is married to what police claim is the alleged ringleader Stephen Handshaw - had been facing life behind bars before a charge of supplying more than a large commercial quantity of the drug ice was dropped by the DPP in court.

Hanshaw has been on bail since May when she was released by the NSW Supreme Court in Sydney to live with family in Bundarra, near Inverell. She had been behind bars since her arrest in May last year.

As part of her bail conditions, she's banned from contacting her co-accused husband, who remains in custody and is yet to enter pleas to his charges.

She must live with a family member in Bundarra, and must not leave that address unless in the company of the nominated family member.

She's also banned from drinking alcohol, entering licensed premises or taking drugs.

She's also prohibited from talking to any other co-accused in the Strike Force Radius ring; and must not go within 5km of the Tamworth Post Office unless she's attending court or meeting her legal team.
