A former public schoolboy has been sentenced to 112 hours of community service after being caught with thousands of illegal diazepam tablets imported from Pakistan.
Michael Coats, who is a former pupil of George Heriot's School, was caught red-handed when police mounted a sting operation on a postal box after intercepting the package.
The 28-year-old bodybuilder, from Relugas Place in Blackford, admitted being concerned in the supply of the class C drug, despite insisting he thought he had been picking up his order of steroids.
He claimed he had not ordered the diazepam, worth up to £6400, and instead blamed his friend, Alexander Robb, who rented the box at Mailboxes Etc in Morningside Road.
Coats pleaded guilty during a hearing last month.
