COPS found cocaine worth hundreds of pounds in the boxers of a Glasgow man.

Declan McNaughton appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court after he admitted being in possession of the drugs with intent to supply.

Police were on patrol in the afternoon of August 19 last year when they spotted the 26-year-old waking on Duke Street.

They watched as McNaughton was approached by a man on a scooter wearing a hi-vis. They appeared to be carrying out a drug transaction.

Officers walked up to him and the East End resident admitted he had wraps in his boxer shorts.

In total, 24 packages containing white powder were recovered.

Half of them weighed between 0.18 grams and 0.20g - worth £120.

A further nine bags weighed from 0.26g to 0.28g – worth £180. The value of the remaining packages was not revealed at the hearing.

McNaughton's lawyer told the court: "He is 27 years old. He was drinking quite heavily with friends at a party and he went to buy cocaine with the intent to supply it at the party.

"It is not a high amount of drugs.

"His record does him no favours but he has never served a sentence in custody.

The solicitor also explained that McNaughton is a full-time carer for his mother and supports his brother as well.

He added: "He knows that this conviction will impact his family. He is fully aware of the implications."

Sheriff Jonathan Guy said: "You pleaded guilty to a serious offence. There is a strong presumption that you will be sent to prison today.

"You have reached the stage where you either turn your life around or you will end up in custody."

McNaughton was sentenced to six months of supervision and will be tagged for 135 days, forcing him to stay at his home between 7pm and 7am every day.

He will also be required to complete 180 hours of unpaid work within a year.
