TRAFFICKING

Saturday

Ryan Moore, Terence Carlin

Ryan Moore, 20, and his passenger Terence Carlin, 19, were stopped in Edinburgh's Peffermill Road by police acting on a tip-off last September.
Officers found bags of cocaine hidden in a space under the roof-rack and two knives in the front-seat passenger footwell.
The court heard Moore – who has been in custody since his arrest – had a £1400-a-week cocaine habit and claimed he had been asked to look after the drugs by a dealer to pay off drug debts.
He pleaded guilty earlier this month to being concerned in the supply of cocaine, which had a potential street value of almost £30,994.
At Edinburgh Sheriff Court yesterday, Sheriff Kenneth Maciver told Moore said: "This is a difficult case and a somewhat sad case because you are both so young."
But he added that custody was the only appropriate sentence "for involvement to this level in drug trafficking".
Both men – whose addresses were given as Edinburgh Prison – were on bail when they were stopped on September 28, 2007.
Carlin, a scaffolder, denied all knowledge of the drugs but pleaded guilty to possessing the five-inch bladed knives – which Sheriff Maciver described as "one of the nastiest weapons I have seen".
Jailing Carlin for ten months, Sheriff Maciver said: "You have a previous conviction for possessing a knife and were fined £1000 but that did not deter you."
Defence agent Vincent Belmonte said Moore told police he would be shot if he revealed the identity of the dealer.
