Alan Matthews tried to hide drugs during police raid in Paisley A drug dealer who tried to hide his stash during a police raid on the farm where he lived has been jailed for six years. The High Court in Edinburgh heard that Alan Matthews stuck his head out of a skylight window to ask "What's going on?" as police were sawing their way through a barn door. He was caught inside the building in Arkleston Road, Paisley, trying to stuff items into a recess in the roof area. On Wednesday, Matthews, 49, admitted being concerned in the supply of cannabis, amphetamine and cocaine. Judge Lord Doherty was told that police were tipped off that drugs were being stored in a part of South Arkleston Farm which was rented out to Matthews, who also lived there. A search revealed drugs with a total street value of £47,000 and £14,560 in cash. Police also found containers of powder which could be used to bulk out cocaine and digital scales which had been used to weigh out amphetamine.
