Aberdeen dealer jailed after £60,000 drugs raid

A man caught running a “sophisticated” drugs operation from an Aberdeen flat has been jailed.

Police found £21,500 of heroin, £40,000 of cocaine and more than £18,000 in cash during a raid on Portland Street last October.

Yesterday Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard that Luke Marshall had stashed the drugs throughout the property, including behind pipes.

Sheriff Jack Brown said: “You became involved in this in an effort to repay a drug debt. Clearly your life had taken a turn for the worse.”

“This was, however, a sophisticated enterprise albeit, perhaps to some extent, not at the highest level.

“You knew what was going on.”

Marshall, 23, of Larch Road, was sentenced to two years behind bars.
