Declan Price, a 29-year-old man from Ruchazie, Glasgow, has been sentenced to 40 months in prison for his involvement in a £300,000 cocaine operation in the UK.

Key Facts and Dates:

• Date of Offence: On August 2, 2024, Price was apprehended in Sandyhills, Glasgow, after a Renault Clio was stopped by police.
• Charges: Price was caught with two carrier bags containing a total of five kilograms of cocaine, with a potential street value of approximately £300,000. He admitted to a charge of being concerned in the supply of cocaine.
• Court Appearance and Decision: Price appeared at the High Court in Glasgow for sentencing on June 25, 2026. Judge Lord Arthurson stated that a custodial sentence was inevitable due to the objective of significant personal financial gain. Price was subsequently jailed for 40 months.
