Four people from an organised crime gang have been jailed after it was unveiled they were responsible for inundating Edinburgh and Lothians with cocaine.
Begbie, the owner of a landscape gardening business, also sent photographs of the cocaine to Cleeton so he could check them. On June 2, 2022, Begbie was stopped by police officers while driving. Cleeton was jailed for seven years, Begbie for six, Boyd for three and Whyte for 32 months. Cleeton and Begbie were both given Serious Crime Prevention Orders for a period of three years.
“They demonstrate the ability of police and prosecutors to investigate, prepare and prosecute serious and organised crime cases of this nature. We are targeting those people who threaten communities across Scotland, not only drug couriers but also those who direct their movements. “There is no place for serious organised criminality in our society and, working in partnership with the local communities we serve, law enforcement agencies and the members of the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce, we will continue our fight against those involved in serious and organised crime to keep our communities safe.”
