Drug dealer ordered to hand over bounty

PROSECUTORS have seized more than £120,000 from a convicted drug dealer who has just given birth in custody.

Sarah Keegan, 32, has been ordered to hand over £123,972.62 following a hearing at the High Court in Edinburgh yesterday.

The Crown had taken Keegan to court using proceeds of crime legislation.

The criminal, of Manchester, was given a two-year sentence at the High Court in Glasgow in April 2017.

Keegan and her co-accused Jason Jolley, 45, were arrested following a Police Scotland operation.

The pair were snared at a caravan park in Beattock in Dumfries and Galloway. Officers swooped at the location and recovered heroin and a cutting agent with a £65,000 street value.

Defence advocate Susan Duff told the court that her client couldn’t be there as she had given birth in the last month.

Lady Rae then ordered for payment to be made within six months. MORE than 50,000 people are now alive thanks to organ donation, new figures show.

Data from NHS Blood and Transplant for the UK shows that the 50,000 barrier has been broken for the first time.

It said around 50,300 people are alive today due to organ transplants, more than enough to fill Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge and almost enough to fill Liverpool’s Anfield stadium.

This includes 36,300
