"Glasgow Sheriff Court heard drugs squad officers saw Strachan going in and out of a flat in the city’s East End on January 15."
Entering a house is enough evidence to search it, is it? I take it the house was under surveillance already.
"... he was caught with £2,000 of heroin down his boxer shorts when he arrived at a pal’s house in Maryhill, Glasgow, while police were searching it."
He's got to be pretty or unlucky or spectacularly dumb, but why is visiting a friend probable cause to strip search someone? Oh right, the police can search anyone for no reason whatsoever in this country, I forgot.
Still, let's not forget this was the Brains of Britain who went into a shop on Maryhill Road, bought a knife, and then was filmed by CCTV opening the package and putting it in his pocket.
