An Aberdeen man has been handed unpaid work after being caught importing hundreds of MDMA tablets – including one featuring Donald Trump’s face.
Ross Grogan, 22, came to the attention of the police when customs officials intercepted two packages addressed to him containing tablets.
The tablets, one of which featured the face of the controversial soon-to-be ex-president, tested positive for MDMA and were valued at up to £3,350.
Grogan admitted buying drugs online during his police interview, and had begun selling to his peers to fund his own increasing habit.
Fiscal depute Christy Ward told Aberdeen Sheriff Court: “On March 25 2019, a customs official at the International Logistics Centre in Langley, Berkshire, identified a parcel addressed to the accused at Skene Square in Aberdeen that was suspected to contain controlled drugs.
