A man caught storing Heroin potentially worth nearly £6million in his Maryhill flat has been jailed for five years.

39-year-old Daniel McIntosh was found with 16 kilos of the class A drug during a police operation in September last year.

Detective Chief Inspector John Morrison said:

“We welcome the sentencing of Daniel McIntosh for his involvement in the supply of Class A drugs. McIntosh stood to make a significant amount of money from selling heroin and we will not allow people to profit from putting lives at risk.

"Proactively targeting serious and organised criminals continues to be one of Police Scotland's priorities and we are absolutely committed to working with partners, including the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, to ensure that individuals like McIntosh are brought before the courts.

"The public continue to play a vital role in assisting our investigations and anyone with any concerns about drugs, or who has information about those involved in the supply of drugs, should contact Police Scotland on 101 or make an anonymous report to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
