BACKGROUND reports have been ordered into a 23-year-old man who admitted drug dealing in Galashiels.

Selkirk Sheriff Court was told that Colin Adamson was concerned in the supply of heroin at a property in Kenilworth Avenue, Galashiels, on September 8 last year.

Sentence was deferred on Adamson, of Maxmill Park, Kelso, until November 14 for the production of a Criminal Justice Social Work Report and a Restriction of Liberty Order assessment.

Co-accused Abbie Brown, of Honeylees Drive, Tweedbank, had her plea of not guilty accepted by the Crown.

The 22-year-old also pled not guilty, along with Adamson, to possession of cannabis – both of which were accepted.
