A man did two lines of cocaine and led police on a car chase in North Glasgow.

Police were on patrol on the M80 before 11pm on January 8, 2024.

They spotted a red Mazda travelling North, which appeared to be going too fast.

After checks, the cops followed the car, which turned onto Robroyston Drive and activated their emergency lights, indicating for the car to stop.

The vehicle, driven by Lewis Croly, did not stop and instead, increased its speed and overtook another road user.

Officers pursued as the car turned to Robroyston Road, over the speed limit. 

Then, Croly lost control of the car and almost hit the pavement.

He turned onto several nearby streets, followed by cops, and returned to Robrosyton Road at 75 miles per hour, swerving.

Finally, the 20-year-old stopped on Sandmill Street, got out of the car and ran off, down the path.

Police caught up with him, arrested him and noted he had white powder residue on his nostril.

Tests showed there were 68 microgrammes of cocaine and 800 microgrammes of Benzoylecgonine -  the major metabolite of cocaine - in a litre of his blood.

Croly, of Kilmarnock, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court last week after he pleaded guilty to the offences, as well as having cocaine in his possession.

Sheriff Thomas Ward noted: "He was 15 times over the limit."

The procurator fiscal depute told the court: "He consumed two lines of cocaine earlier."

Croly's solicitor said: "It is a serious matter, especially for a first offender. He is lucky nobody was harmed.

"He does not shy away from taking responsibility. He seems genuinely understanding. He was very wrong here and he apologises for his conduct.

"He does not have the vehicle anymore, it has been scrapped."

Sheriff Ward told Croly: "The threshold for custody has been passed but I have to take into account your age and the fact that you have no previous convictions."

For the traffic offences, he was fined £1,000, plus £75 victim surcharge, and disqualified for three years.

For the drug offences, he was fined £2,000, plus £75 victim surcharge.
