A man found with £2.3m worth of cocaine in East Kilbride is behind bars.
James Duffy was caught in the town in July last year.
A van, along with two properties in the town were then searched, and the High Court in Glasgow heard a total of more than 6kg of the class A drug was seized.
The cocaine had a purity as high as 77 per cent.
Prosecutor Shirley McKenna said DNA also helped link 32 year-old Duffy to the haul.
On Tuesday Duffy, also of East Kilbride, pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine.
Lord Armstrong remanded him in custody as sentencing was deferred until October for reports.
