Six men are accused of trafficking street Valium at a care home for the elderly.

Jeremy Curran, 43, Anton Jack, 36, Ian Christopher Cairns, 42, Gary Wilson, 33, Martin Wallace, 57, and Kenny Roy, 38, are charged with being concerned in the supply of Etizolam between February 2024 and January 2025.

Prosecutors list a number of locations involved in the alleged crime including Craigbank Care Home in Saracen Street, Possilpark in Glasgow.

The group are separately accused of producing the class C drug at a unit in the city’s Oatlands during the same dates.

A further allegation is that they were involved in serious organised crime.

This features a number of claims, including meeting one another and associates for the “purpose of exchanging items associated with the production and supply of Etizolam”.

It also said they did lease the unit involved as well as purchase and store machinery used to help make the drug.

Other charges on the seven page indictment are that Curran and Jack, along with Sean Sweeney, 34, Gerard Riley, 42, and Zoe Burns, 30, were involved in further street Valium trafficking between June 2024 and May 2025.

Locations this time listed by prosecutors include an industrial estate in Stewarton, Ayrshire as well as storage units in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Hamilton, Lanarkshire and Glasgow’s east end.

Among these other accusations is a claim Curran had £49,130 of “criminal property” as well as a charge that Jack and Burns had possession of a handgun.

The case called for a hearing at the High Court in Glasgow.

No pleas were made by the legal teams on behalf of each.

Lord Mulholland continued the case until a further hearing in the summer.
