BACKGROUND reports have been ordered into a Borders man who admitted two drugs offences.
Ronald Duncan, 38, of Standalane View, Peebles, pleaded guilty to possession of heroin and having the class A drug with intent to supply at a house in Old Town, Peebles, on April 29.
Defence lawyer Mark Harrower explained that while his client was on a supply charge, the drugs actually belonged to his supplier. However, when police visited the property Duncan had tried to hide the drugs on behalf of his supplier.
Sentence was deferred until March 23 at Selkirk Sheriff Court for the production of a Criminal Justice Social Work Report and a Restriction of Liberty Order assessment.
