A 32-year-old man was caught importing and distributing drugs after packages were intercepted at airports across the UK.

Andrew Jones, of Alloa, Clackmannanshire, was arrested in November 2014 and pleaded guilty to charges under the Misuse of Drugs Act at trial.

He was jailed for three and a half years at Stirling Sheriff Court on Wednesday.

The packages contained 6.6kg of drugs similar to mephedrone, with an estimated street value of £133,000.

Following months of intelligence gathering, the class B drugs were intercepted by the Border Force at airports including Edinburgh, Coventry and Heathrow in 2014.

The joint investigation was conduced by Police Scotland, the Border Force and the National Crime Agency.

Detective constable Gillian Rennie, of Stirling CID, said: "Drugs cause a great amount of damage to families and local communities, so this is a good result for our area as well as our partner agencies.

"Drug dealers have no interest in the safety or well-being of other people.

"Jones was part of a large-scale operation, which we believe was operating in communities across Forth Valley.

"If you have any information on drug crime in your area, speak to a local officer or contact us on 101."
