Dumbarton man caught with £2000 drugs 1 day after he started dealing

Mohsen Bozorgyan was spotted driving a Hyundai i20, which then parked on Fernhill Road in Rutherglen, shortly after 11pm on September 16, 2025.

Police decided to walk up to him. As they did, they saw a woman go up to the car and what looked like a drug deal took place.

Cops approached to speak to the driver, but before they could reach him, the vehicle drove away.

Officers eventually stopped him and Bozorgyan gave his details.

Police noticed he was shaky and fiddling with the waistband of his trousers. He began apologising and became visibly upset.

Then, his phone, which was mounted next to the steering wheel as a sat-nav, lit up with a message.

A text read: "Three times 0.5g, 80 quid”.

The 38-year-old was cautioned, detained and searched. He told police: “I am sorry. I don’t want jail. I put bags down my trousers".

The Dumbarton resident reached down his own trousers and pulled out two sandwich bags containing large quantities of individually-wrapped white powder.

Altogether, there were 75 individual bags found, weighing 51.9g. It was later identified as cocaine, worth £2000.

There was also £80 in cash recovered from his right-hand pocket.

Bozorgyan was taken to Cathcart police station.

In the car, he explained: “I am only doing this for the money. I have only been doing this since yesterday.

"I got the drugs and I wanted to make quick money. I know I made a mistake and I am sorry."

 He appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court last week after he pleaded guilty to one charge of being concerned in the supply of the class-A drug.

Sheriff Patricia Pryce noted: "This is a gentleman who has never been involved [with the court] before and is unlikely to be involved again. But this breaches the custody threshold, it’s a dealer’s amount."

Bozorgyan's lawyer responded: "This was a one-off. He lost his job and he wanted to make money."

Sheriff Pryce told Bozorgyan: "This is a serious matter because it involves being concerned in the supply of class-A drugs.

"But you have never been involved before and I don’t expect to see you back here."

He was placed on a community payback order, including a nine-month supervision.

He was also ordered to complete 180 hours of unpaid work during that time.
