MORE drug dealing charges have been brought against a Galashiels man who has been linked with a batch of heroin which resulted in a number of people being admitted to hospital.
John Tunnicliffe, who is 52, appeared in private at Selkirk Sheriff Court last week charged with dealing in heroin at his Hawthorn Road home between November 1 and December 4 and remanded in custody.
He appeared again at Jedburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday afternoon and has now been accused of four counts of being concerned in the supply of drugs to other people.
Tunnicliffe is also charged with possession of cannabis and breaching a bail order.
He made no plea and was fully committed for trial and remanded in custody.
Police Scotland issued a statement last week saying a 52-year-old man had been charged after several people in the Galashiels area fell ill and were taken to Borders General Hospital for treatment.
