A man has been fined £200 after being found in possession of heroin and cannabis at his home.

Derek Hugh McIntyre, 26, of Burnbank Street, Stevenston pled guilty by letter at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court last week.

The court heard that police attended McIntyre’s home in possession of a drug search warrant.

They searched the premises and recovered 3.4g of cannabis resin, with an estimated street value of £15.

They also found a wrap containing 0.3g of heroin, worth around £15.

Sheriff McKenzie said: “The court will impose a financial penalty £300, reduced to reflect the plea of guilty to £200, at £10 per week
