Man caught with £86,000 of cannabis in Aberdeen

ABERDEEN police officers caught a man who had travelled more than 400 miles in his car with cannabis worth more than £86,000, a court has heard.

Daniel Davies, 25, was snared transporting the drugs through Aberdeen by undercover detectives, the High Court in Edinburgh heard.

Grampian Police received a tip-off about Davies in May 2011 and officers tracked him from his home in Liverpool, following him north to Scotland.

Davies, of Berwick Drive, Liverpool, pleaded guilty to two charges of being concerned in the supply of cannabis and cocaine.

He is expected to be sentenced later this month at the High Court in Glasgow.
