A brazen drug dealer used his father’s Rutherglen flat to store more than £17,000 worth of cocaine.
Gavin Allan kept the stash hidden in bedrooms and on the stairs of the property.
The 40-year-old was snared in December 2018 following intelligence given to the police.
Allan pleaded guilty last week at Glasgow Sheriff Court to being concerned in the supply of cocaine.
The dad-of-four also admitted the possession of an air weapon without a certificate.
The court heard Allan was initially stopped by officers in Glasgow city centre and taken into custody.
Police later attended the flat on Glenside Drive and were allowed entry by Allan’s father who owned the property.
Officers found 392.94 grams of cocaine in the main bedroom.
Prosecutor Adele MacDonald told the court the amount was valued at £16,680.
Officers later discovered three bags of cocaine which contained 10 smaller two-gram bags valued at £800.
Scales and £1475 in mixed notes were also found during the search.
Officers later recovered an air rifle in the second bedroom which belonged to Allan.
Miss MacDonald said: “The accused didn’t have a certificate for that air rifle.
“It was determined that the circumstances and the amount of cocaine found would be for the onward supply and not for personal use.”
Sentence was deferred for background reports by Sheriff Johanna Johnston QC.
She told Allan: “You have admitted your guilt of a significant amount of controlled class A drugs at a very high value.
“The likely outcome as you recognise would be imprisonment, but I will look at all of the circumstances.”
Allan, of East Kilbride, who appeared on bail, was remanded in custody.
