Grandad lorry driver caged over 'industrial scale' £1m drug factory in Scotland

A grandad lorry driver puffed out his cheeks and said 'wow' after being caged for eight-and-a-half years for his role in a drug gang running an "industrial scale" amphetamine factory in Motherwell.

Stanley Feerick, from Liverpool, was the final member of the group to be sentenced for his role in the huge operation. He trafficked hundreds of thousands of pounds of heroin and cocaine across the UK.

The 68-year-old was arrested in November 2020 after being stopped by the police while driving a lorry containing 2.9 kilos of heroin, worth £300,000, and tens of thousands of pounds in cash at a motorway service station.
