Jail warning for Lanarkshire man caught up in £20k drug haul

A man has been warned to expect a jail sentence after drugs worth nearly £20,000 were found in his Blantyre home.

The haul included numerous bags of tetrahydrocannabinol - known as THC, the main psychoactive compound in cannabis.

Shea Summers, 23, admitted being concerned in the supply of THC and cannabis in Maxwell Crescent in July 2020.

Hamilton Sheriff Court heard police went to the house with a search warrant and found bags of drugs in the living room and under the kitchen sink.

The THC recovered had a potential value of £14,850.

Two slabs of herbal cannabis, each worth £2200, were also found along with cocaine worth £200.

Police officers also seized a mobile phone that contained messages "indicative of being concerned in drugs supply"

Sheriff Colin Dunipace deferred sentence until next month for a criminal justice social work report.

He continued bail, but warned Summers: "Be under no illusion. The court considers this a very serious matter."
