Drug safe house man sent to jail
A man who used a flat as a safe house to store £56,000 of heroin has been jailed for four years.
Michael Brisbane confessed to hiding the drugs when police raided the home, on Wishart Place, Dundee.
The 44 year-old refused to say who he had been storing them for as he would get “a bullet in the knee” if he did.
Brisbane admitted at the High Court in Glasgow to being concerned in the supply of heroin between 23 and 27 February this year.
Debt Problem
Judge Lady Dorrian heard how detectives swooped on the flat after they were told drugs were being stored there.
They detained Brisbane and several others who were there.
He immediately told officers: “Listen, let them go – it’s all mine. The heroin in the bedroom is all mine.”
As well as the drugs, £2,747 in cash was also found.
Gillian Wade, prosecuting, said the Crown accepted the accused had been storing the heroin for someone else.
The court heard Brisbane had been in debt to an “individual” for a year and had been asked to keep the drugs as a pay-off
