Drugs trial hears £1m of cash found in house

The drugs were concealed in deliveries of fruit destined for the “Glasgow Fruit Market” at an address in the city’s Townhead.

Dirty money is said to have funded the set-up involving the purchase of equipment, leasing premises, buying cars and registering company directors under fake names for the “Glasgow Fruit Market”.

It is alleged James Stevenson, 59, headed up the operation and teamed up with another man for the “collection, storage and onward transmission” of £1.04m of criminal funds.

Jurors were told that in April 2020 the home of Laura and Brian Noble in Glasgow’s Robroyston was found to contain £1.15m in cash.

A total of £996,060 of the cash was kept in heat-sealed plastic packages, and DNA and thumb prints belonging to Laura Noble’s brother Stephen O’Donnell was found on some of the bags.

A search of O’Donnell’s home in the city’s Lambhill found a total of £76,320 of cash of which £70,070 was kept in heat-sealed packets.

The jurors were told that O’Donnell later pled guilty to possession of criminal property of £1,092,290 and received a two-year prison sentence.
