Three men have appeared in court facing serious drug-supplying charges after police recovered illicit substances valued at approximately £1.35 million.
Jack Sanderson, 29, from Renfrew, Martin Tracey, 29, and Andrew Stirling, 41, both from Glasgow, appeared in private at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday. The trio were charged under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.
None of the three men made a plea or declaration during their court appearance. They were committed for further examination and subsequently released on bail. They are scheduled to appear back in court at a later date.
The charges stem from a police raid conducted last Thursday. Officers raided a property on Tresta Road, Glasgow, at approximately 6:10 p.m., where they discovered a significant quantity of cocaine and other drug-related equipment.
Detective Superintendent Steven Elliot of Police Scotland’s Organised Crime and Counter Terrorism Unit expressed gratitude to the community for their continued support and the valuable information provided, which aided in the seizure. “I’d like to thank the community for their continued support and information which helps us remove illegal, harmful substances from our streets,” he said.
The substantial drug seizure highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat organized crime and drug trafficking in the region. The investigation remains ongoing, and further developments are anticipated as the case progresses through the legal system.
