Nhat Nguyen, 50, appeared from custody at Glasgow Sheriff Court and pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cannabis.[1] He was caught with the cannabis at a property in Glasgow’s Maryhill on 17 July 2026.[1] The court heard that a warrant had been granted to search Nguyen’s home.[1] Prosecutor Lauren Aitchison told the court that a number of items were recovered.[1] They included 243 cannabis plants, a lighting unit and thermometers.[1]

The court was told that the value of the plants recovered could reach a maximum of £145,800.[1] Alison Miller, defending, told the court that Nguyen was a first offender and was very keen for the matter to come to an end.[1] She said he knew he would receive a custodial sentence and understood that background reports would be required.[1]

Sheriff Owen Mullan deferred sentence for background reports until next month.[1] He continued Nguyen’s remand in custody in the meantime.[1]
