Scott Fitzgerald, Keith Whyte, and Lewis McGrath all pled guilty
Three men have been sentenced to a total of 17 years in prison after £321,000 worth of drugs was seized in Aberdeen and Glasgow.
Scott Fitzgerald, 34, Keith Whyte, 33, and Lewis McGrath, 30, pled guilty to the offences on Tuesday 29 August at the High Court in Glasgow.
Fitzgerald also pled guilty to firearms offences.
Fitzgerald was sentenced to six years and six months, Whyte to six years, and McGrath to four years and nine months of jail time on Friday 13 October at the High Court in Glasgow.
In Spring 2022, officers recovered cocaine with a street value of over £300,000 and heroin worth around £21,000 from properties in Aberdeen and Glasgow.
A sawn off shot gun was also recovered from the Glasgow property.
Detective Inspector Robin Sim of the Specialist Crime Division said: “This sentencing underlines our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious Organised Crime Strategy.
“We are working hard to ensure Scotland is a hostile environment for those who want to engage in criminal activity.
“Information from the public is crucial in helping us to combat those involved in drugs activity in our communities. It is only as a community working together that we can tackle drug dealing activity.”
