A foodbank worker was spared jail after being caught smuggling heroin into Scotland on a motorbike.
Ian Wilson, of Southport, was stopped by police on his motorcycle with heroin worth more than £5,000 in Chryston, North Lanarkshire. A court was told the 61-year-old was "pressured" into transporting the drugs and was shown mercy by a Sheriff - a Scottish judge, reports the Daily Record.
Sheriff Petra Collins decided "with considerable hesitation" not to jail Wilson. Wilson admitted being concerned in the supply of the Class A drug in Woodhead Terrace on August 4, 2020.
