A GRANDAD has been sentenced after admitting to dealing heroin.

Police found the drug hidden inside Albert Maycock’s walking crutch.

His defence lawyer, Nick Lewin, told the city’s crown court: “He was holding the drugs for a family member.”

Judge Ian Lawrie QC suspended Maycock’s 18-month prison term.
