Haul of drugs worth more than £10k found at raid in East Kilbride man's home

Drugs worth more than £10,000 were found during a raid on an East Kilbride man's home.

Police also seized £9600 in cash, Hamilton Sheriff Court heard on Friday.

Scott Young, 34, of Ontario Place, admitted being concerned in the supply of cannabis, cannabinol and the derivative substance THC on June 2 and 3 last year.

With him in the dock was Susan Davies, 48, of Troon Avenue, East Kilbride, but her not guilty pleas to the charges were accepted.

Jennifer Cunningham, prosecuting, said police forced entry to the house after getting a search warrant.

Young and Davies were present at the time.

Drugs were found in the living room, bedroom and kitchen, including in the fridge and freezer.

The fiscal added: "Other items found were indicative of drug supply. These included digital scales, weights, unused bags and snap bags.

"The officers also recovered £9600 in cash.

"Young was arrested and provided a 'no comment' interview except to say that Davies had no involvement."

Police experts estimated the drugs recovered had a street value of £10,660.

Young admitted previous convictions and Sheriff Liam Murphy warned him he could be jailed.

The case was adjourned until December for a criminal justice social work report and an electronic tagging assessment.

Young had his bail continued but the sheriff told him: "Given the nature of the offences, I'll be considering a custodial sentence."

Young also faces a financial penalty under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
