A 53-year-old man convicted of drugs offences has been ordered to hand over more than £50,000 following a Proceeds of Crime action at Selkirk Sheriff Court.

Edward Dorman of Dean Street, Galashiels, had previously admitted producing cannabis at his remote property in Heriot between August and November 2016, for which he was ordered to carry out 230 hours unpaid work.

The Crown also successfully applied for a confiscation order for £54,986 which has to be paid within six months.
