A BUNGLING drug dealer posted cannabis in a pack too big to go through a letterbox - and wrote his name and address on the envelope.

Internet software dealer Jeffrey McLaughlin sent a package containing 20 individual wraps of cannabis to his friend Tracey Johnstone for her to sell on.

But grandmother Johnstone had to go to the sorting office to collect it - and the police were waiting for her.

Lucy Keane, prosecuting, told Perth Sheriff Court yesterday: "The police had information that she had been receiving drugs through the post and selling them on.

"As a result, they were carrying out surveillance on her. On March 7, she was traced coming out of the sorting office in Blairgowrie.

"She had a package with her which was opened and found to contain around 62 grams of cannabis resin.

"It was addressed to her and the label on it had the name of Jeffrey McLaughlin.

"In her papers were his bank details. She explained the arrangement that he would send it to her and she would sell it on, repay him and keep a profit."

Both admitted being concerned in the supply of £250 cannabis resin last March.

McLaughlin, 31, of Irvine, Ayrshire, was jailed for six months, while Johnstone, 48, of Blairgowrie, Perthshire, was given 240 hours of community service.
