Duo sentenced after entering guilty pleas

-

The couple both pled guilty to being concerned in the supply of diamorphin­e when they appeared side by side in the dock.

Cops raided their James Campbell Road property on March 28 last year.

Two large packages of heroin , which could earn a combined total of £2,900 on the street, were found along with three small wraps with a deal value of £105.

Police stopped Walker in a car at the junction of James Campbell Road on July 20 last year, the court heard.

Depute fiscal Jason Bell told the court police pulled her over and noticed a strange smell.

Officers found drugs in the vehicle. Ian Gillies, defending Walker, said: “She fully accepts full responsibi­lity for the 14 grammes (half an ounce) of heroin found in her motor vehicle.

He said his client had a “traumatic upbringing.”

He explained she had lapsed into drug abuse after a death in her family and other hardships.

The court ordered her to forfeit £1,525.

Sheriff Carole Cunningham­e ordered her to attend drug addiction services and counsellin­g as part of an 18 month community supervisio­n order.

Her sentence, which includes a curfew, is an alternativ­e to custody.

Lindsay was ordered to forfeit £160.
