Over 1,000 ecstasy tablets found hidden in children's Lego box

A man has been jailed after more than a thousand ecstasy tablets were found in a children's Lego box.

The pills, which were the shape of the Rolling Stones “Lick” logo, were discovered by Border Force officers carrying out checks on incoming mail at Coventry International Parcel Hub in January last year.

The package had been sent from Belgium to David Liddle at his girlfriend’s address.

This consignment would have been worth around £10,000 if sold on the streets.

When investigators raided the property a few days later they found a handful of LSD tablets, a small quantity of cocaine and around £2500 in cash.

The 22-year-old pleaded guilty to Misuse of Drugs Act offences and has been sentenced to 15 months in prison at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.
