A COUNTY resident has admitted to charges of possessing Class A drugs at his home.

Jack McIntee, of Milne Meadows, Old Craighall, was caught in possession of a quantity of cocaine when police arrived at his property on June 27.

The 21-year-old was also found to be in possession of a quantity of the Class B drug cannabis by the officers.

McIntee pleaded guilty to both offences at a hearing at Edinburgh Sheriff Court last month and was due to be sentenced last Tuesday.

But the court was told that the required social work reports were not yet available and sentence was further deferred to October 8.
