A Galgorm man tried to buy drugs over the internet but alert postal staff smelt the herbal cannabis and called in police.

Peter Richard Wilson (36), of Maine Park, was fined £150 at Ballymena Magistrates Court where he pleaded guilty to attempting to possess the Class B drug.

The offence was detected in March this year when the smell led to the discovery of nine grammes of herbal cannabis and Wilson then visited the postal office with an enquiry about the package.

Defence solicitor John McAtamney said Wilson bought the drugs “off the internet for £60”, adding that his client has health problems.

District Judge Peter King told Wilson he was “always going to get caught”.

Not necessarily, it could have been buds.

I had a package that was 100 million percent containing cannabis. No two ways about it. Told the managers. They told me to just deliver it as it was "too much hassle" to bring it back and call the police.
