Builder Mark Quinn was involved in smuggling millions of pounds of amphetamine into Scotland.

A former nursing home in Liverpool was used by a criminal gang as a drugs factory to smuggle millions of pounds of amphetamine into Scotland.A further £2.5m worth of amphetamine was found in a raid at Alder Grange nursing home in March 2014.

Builder Quinn, from Liverpool, was arrested in the Netherlands last October and extradited to Scotland after six years on the run. In February 2014, in the grounds of the former nursing home, Quinn was spotted hurriedly loading items into a van which was later stopped on the M74 in South Lanarkshire.A month later, Quinn was involved when another car left the nursing home with a £3.2m consignment of amphetamine. It too was stopped heading north on the M74.

Police said the gang involved was not only adulterating amphetamine but also producing amphetamine sulphate from amphetamine oil.The High Court was told that this showed "a level of sophistication rarely encountered" and was representative of an established organised crime network at the upper levels of drug trafficking.
