A brazen drug dealer who was caught with over £9,000 worth of cannabis in a Tesco carrier bag has narrowly avoided jail.
Joseph Sillars tried to escape police in Esk Drive on January 12, 2021. But officers saw him launch a bag containing the Class-B drug through the window of a BMW X5.
They were able to seize the drugs from the BMW and arrest Sillars, of India Drive in Inchinnan. Once the 35-year-old was arrested, he told cops the Tesco bag was, in fact, an Aldi bag containing clothes and not a hefty amount of drugs.
