A man who deliberately drove his car at two unmarked police vehicles in Glasgow while carrying an estimated £96,000 worth of heroin has been jailed. Two police officers were injured and hospitalised after Frank Donaghy, 49, drove his car at the police vehicles in Drumchapel on April 9, 2024. Donaghy was arrested, with police finding heroin in the car. Detectives said the heroin had an estimated street value of £96,000.
Today (Monday, January 6), Donaghy appeared at the High Court in Glasgow, where he was jailed for three years and nine months for drug supply and dangerous driving. He was also banned from driving for six years and nine months. Detective Superintendent Steven Elliot said: 'Donaghy was willing to endanger police officers and the public to escape justice and he now faces the consequences. 'This sentencing also highlights our ongoing commitment to disrupting the illegal and harmful supply of illegal drugs in our communities. There is no place for this type of criminality and such operations underline our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country's Serious Organised Crime Strategy. “Information from the public is absolutely crucial to our work. We would continue to urge anyone with knowledge or concerns about drugs activity in their area to contact Police Scotland on 101. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
