A drugs courier caught on the A74(M) motorway with cannabis worth £150,000 has been jailed for 16 months.

Gordon Galloway, 42, of Bertram Street, Harthill, in Lanarkshire, admitted being concerned in supplying the drug near Lockerbie last May.

Dumfries Sheriff Court was told he owed money and was told he would have to make a “collection” to pay it off.

Sheriff Kenneth Barr said that a courier was yet another link in the chain of drugs supply.

The court heard Galloway had picked the drugs up at a service station near Bolton and was to take them to another one on the M74 at Hamilton.
