A MEMBER of a cannabis gang caught red-handed in a drug den claimed it had nothing to do with him.

Chong Wang, 31, from Glasgow, told police that he only popped into the flat for a game of cards.

But his DNA was found on a pink toothbrush in the bathroom which was stacked full of cannabis.

The drug was being adulterated and then put into deals size packages in the flat.

Wang insisted he was playing cards and did not realise that another consignment of cannabis was due to arrive from Manchester.

But at the High Court in Glasgow he was found guilty of being concerned in the supply of cannabis at a flat in Argyle Street, Glasgow, in April last year.

When police officers raided the premises they found £130,000 of cannabis piled up in the bathroom. Efforts had been made to mask the pungent smell with two scented candles.

In the bathroom where the cannabis was being stored ,officers found a pink toothbrush which had Wang's DNA on it.

The High Court in Glasgow heard that to brush his teeth or go to the toilet Wang would have had to step over the bags of cannabis.

In evidence, he said that he noticed no smell when he was at the flat. He told prosecutor Stewart Ronnie: “When I entered the door I didn't smell anything..”

He was then asked if he smelled the candles and replied: “I smelled them but I didn't smell any cannabis.”

Mr Ronnie then asked: “Is it not the case Mr Wang you were there to help with the repackaging of the cannabis and that's is why you were there,” and he replied: “It is impossible. It was nothing to do with me.”

The court heard that scales were found in the kitchen and a tick list was found in the living room.

Co-accused Wang Lin, 30, of James Watt Street, and Bin Chen, 27, of Yorkhill Parade, both Glasgow, also admitted being concerned in the supply of cannabis on April 14, last year.

Judge Lord Matthews deferred sentence on all three until November 16 for background reports.
