Father and son bailed on drug charges

A FATHER and son appeared in private at Lerwick Sheriff Court on Thursday charged with drugs offences.

Innes Irvine, aged 45, and Christopher Irvine, aged 25, made no plea or declaration and were committed for further examination before being released on bail.

Both men are from Lerwick, Innes having been arrested on 22 February after police searched a car outside the town’s Bell’s Brae primary school.

He was charged two days later with being concerned in the supply of cannabis with a potential street value of £18,000, obstructing police officers and threatening or abusive behaviour.
