Police have welcomed the jail terms given to two brothers following a drugs operation in south west Scotland.

Norman Conrad Allison was jailed on Friday at the High Court in Paisley for seven years after he was found guilty of supplying heroin and diazepam.

His brother Mark Andrew Allison was jailed for 10 years in February for drug supply and possession offences.

The jail terms followed Operation Linchpin staged in Stranraer last year in response to public concerns.

Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary said the investigation and convictions showed how seriously the issue of drug dealing was taken.

'No hiding'

A spokesman added that the whole community had a role in tackling the problem.

Det Insp Mark Hollis said: "We want Stranraer and indeed the whole of Dumfries and Galloway to be an area that people feel safe in, that people want to live and work in, that people want to visit and invest in.

"With the massive regeneration of the Dicks Hill area of Stranraer under way and the planned redevelopment of the Stena ferry port, it's clear that businesses still want to invest in this area.

"There will be no hiding places for drug dealers and the police will continue to target those that supply drugs of any kind to others."
