A CHEF is behind bars after police seized more than £200,000 worth of cocaine and ecstasy at his Linwood home.
Alan Dowling was detained by officers who raided the property in July last year.
A judge at the High Court in Glasgow heard how police discovered a large haul of class A drugs.
Dowling had also been clocked near the cafe he worked in the Strathbungo area of Glasgow making a drugs handover to 31-year-old Nicholas Balfour.
It led to Dowling today pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine and ecstasy.
Pipe-fitter Balfour, of Drumoyne, Glasgow, admitted to the same cocaine charge.
Lady Rae remanded both men in custody and deferred sentencing until next month.
Prosecutor Owen Mullan said the cocaine – including the stash handed to Balfour – had a potential value of £189,900, with the ecstasy valued at £17,000.
