Glasgow man stopped in Audi had cocaine in underpants
Officers went to speak to the 25-year-old and noticed he was nervous and placed his hands on the front of his trousers.
They formed the opinion he was in possession of drugs.
An initial cursory search failed to turn up anything but then they noticed a bag on the floor.
A full search at Clydebank police office found six knotted bags in the front of his underwear. There were another four in the rear.
They tested positive for cocaine and the total value was £160.
McEwan, of McIntyre Street, Anderston, Glasgow, later pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of the class A drug on April 5, 2024.
At Dumbarton Sheriff Court on May 13, Sheriff Lorna Anderson ordered him to do 135 hours of unpaid work in the community within nine months.
She added that would allow "wriggle room" if he got work offshore.

Police catch £38k cocaine handover in Paisley graveyard
Andrew Crossey had been the target of surveillance and he was clocked leaving his home in his white Audi on May 2. The 42 year-old pulled up in the town's Hawkhead Cemetery. Associate Sean Teesdale turned up in a BMW. The 28 year-old briefly got into Crossey's motor before returning to his own and driving off. Prosecutor David McLean told the High Court in Glasgow that tracking police then tried to stop Teesdale at traffic lights in the city's Nitshill. Read More But, he drove off and was spotted chucking items out of the car window. Teesdale was, however, finally halted – a total of £1605 of cash was initially discovered in the motor. The discarded packages were also collected and found to be cocaine with a purity of 81 per cent. The haul had a potential value of around £38,000. Teesdale generally made no comment when quizzed, but did state: 'Wrong place at wrong time - I should not have been there and that is that.' Fingerprints linked both him and Crossey to the consignment. Police meantime kept Crossey under watch – he was seen on May 11 with a yellow 'Bag for Life' and then getting into a white Mercedes van. He was later clocked in Paisley where 32 year-old Gary McGhee got in the vehicle and then left with the bag. McGhee went into a property in the Shortroods area of the town where police then swooped. Officers checked the house, found the bathroom locked before McGhee opened its door. Mr McLean: 'They immediately saw the yellow 'Bag for Life' on the floor along with what appeared to be blocks of controlled drugs later identified as cocaine as well as a large black handled kitchen knife.' The drugs had a purity of up to almost 80 per cent. The court heard the stash had a potential value of around £500,000. Forensic evidence again helped pin the traffickers to this haul. Crossey, of Paisley, admitted to two drug supply charges with McGhee, also of the town, and Teesdale, of Stewarton, Ayrshire, one each. Lady Ross deferred sentencing for reports until a later date.
