A DALMUIR window cleaner was snared selling heroin stashed in a kinder egg by undercover cops.

Graham Clark was spotted by officers on Spring Wynd in the Gorbals on October 3, 2016 after they received a tip-off about his illicit activities.

Officers were told about a man selling the class A drug from a van And went to the area in an attempt to catch him in the act, our sister title the Evening Times reports.

Clark, of Durban Avenue, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court for sentencing before Sheriff Bonnar this week after admitting supplying drugs.

The procurator fiscal depute told the court: “Police witnesses were in the road in an unmarked police vehicle when they observed said van parked in a car park.

“They observed a male acting in a suspicious manner standing next to an open driver door.”

Clark was seen putting items into the pocket of the door.

The police then drove up and parked directly behind the van and Clark immediately went into his vehicle, locking the doors.

A court heard: “A search of the van was initiated and [police] recovered a bag containing brown powder and also a Kinder egg containing five wraps.”

Around 24g of heroin was found in total, worth around £250 if sold in £10 bags, according to the procurator fiscal. The 40-year-old had bought the drugs for “personal use”, his solicitor told Sheriff Bonnar.

The lawyer said: “He purchased a quantity of drugs for his own personal use.”

The solicitor explained Clark, who earns around £1,000 a month as a window cleaner, has now got a grip of his drug habit. Clark was sentenced to a restriction of liberty order.
