Concern over drug-dealing pensioners

DOZENS of pensioners have been charged with supplying drugs on Scottish streets over the past three years, including an 82-year-old who was allegedly dealing in heroin.

New information shows police have arrested "pensioner pushers" on suspicion of dealing dangerous illegal substances such as heroin, cocaine, amphetamines and cannabis. Others were caught allegedly trying to sell potent prescription drugs, such as diazepam.
