A MUSSELBURGH drug dealer will have to wear an electronic tagging device and stay at home at night.

Alan Cain was ordered to stay within his Pinkie Avenue address between 7pm and 7am for the next six weeks after he was caught being concerned in the supply of cannabis to others.

Cain, 31, has also been placed under the supervision of the local social work team for six months after he admitted to the single-date offence at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.

Sheriff Francis Gill issued the community payback order on the offender at the city court last week.

Cain pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of a quantity of cannabis at his home on February 29 last year.
