'PSYCHIC' SUPPLIED DEALERS
A MAJOR drug ring was uncovered after the arrest of a man who claimed to be a psychic healer.
Brian McTaggart, 56, who also claims to be an exorcist, collected and delivered drugs to a network of 20 dealers.
Following his arrest, detectives found computer "tick lists" of drug deals going back years that are understood to have been worth £22million.
McTaggart admitted supplying cocaine, ecstasy and amphetamine from his home in Carfin, Lanarkshire, between January 2005 and last May.
John Halley, prosecuting, said McTaggart confessed to receiving £300 a week for collecting and delivering drugs.
Unemployed McTaggart had a £35,000 BMW, was paying off debts of £400 a month and was investing £580 a month in a savings account.
Three of the low-level dealers he supplied - Alexander Morgan, 37, of Stenhousemuir, Elizabeth Sinclair, 24, of Larbert, and Derek Walton, also of Larbert - also admitted drug charges yesterday.
The judge, Lord Brailsford, called for reports on all four at the High Court in Glasgow.
