Glasgow BMW driver caught with cocaine and weed in his socks
First, he was busted by police on January 29, last year, when he took a grey BMW while the owner - whom he knew - was sleeping.
Cops spotted him in the city's Calton and checks revealed that the vehicle was uninsured.
Pran, of Shawlands, left the car and walked towards Glasgow Green.
When officers spoke to him, he admitted: "He doesn't know I took the car'.
The 23-year-old appeared nervous, so he was detained and searched.
Two small packets of white powder were found in his jacket pocket and five bags of cannabis in his left sock.
Later, this was revealed to be 14.6g of cocaine worth £350-800 and 17.5g of cannabis, with a value of £100-200.
Then, Pran was busted again in Dennistoun on September 12, 2024.
Officers spoke to him and noted that the car was not insured, so he was arrested and taken to Cathcart police station.
His blood tested positive for THC, the main psychoactive compound in cannabis.

At the hearing, Pran's lawyer said: "His young life was very traumatic and the issues have followed him to adulthood. He experienced homelessness and misuse of substances. He is also using alcohol to self-soothe.
"But he accepts responsibility."
Pran was sentenced to one year of supervision with a conduct requirement to engage with addiction services.
He also has to complete 199 hours of unpaid work within 12 months.
Finally, he was disqualified from driving for one year.

Pervert English teacher who groomed 14-year-old pupil & made sexual comments to two others dodges jail
The sicko made vile comments to young pupils in his class SHAMED SIR Pervert English teacher who groomed 14-year-old pupil & made sexual comments to two others dodges jail Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SHAMED English teacher who groomed a pupil and was sexually inappropriate to two other girls in his class has avoided jail. David Davidson, 49, preyed on his victims at a school in the north of Glasgow between August 2008 and April 2023. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 David Davidson was found guilty of two charges of engaging in sexual activity with a pupil Credit: john kirkby News group newspapers A teenage girl told a court she skipped lessons to be alone with Davidson in his classroom. She said she fell in love with Davidson and that he had told her that he loved her back. Davidson told her he would take her to his house and out for dinner once she was old enough to leave school. Davidson went on to stroke the girl on the face and called her "pretty." The dad-of-three made further comments in front of pupils, such as boasting about the size of his manhood. Davidson, of Milngavie, East Dunbartonshire, was found guilty of two charges of engaging in sexual activity with a pupil. He was also convicted at a Glasgow Sheriff Court of two further charges of conducting himself in a disorderly manner. Sheriff Michael Hanlon ordered Davidson to do 200 hours of unpaid work and put him under supervision for two years. Davidson was also put on the sex offenders register for two years. The court heard from a now 19-year-old childcare student who recalled having Davidson as her English teacher at age 14. How a Blackpool Couple's Holiday Snaps Unraveled a £50k Benefits Fraud She stated that she would skip lessons to see Davidson in his classroom. The girl said: "He would say that I was not supposed to be here, but he was not going to kick me out." The girl claimed that they spoke about a variety of things, including sexual matters. She added that Davidson made "jokes" with "underlying remarks." The girl told the prosecutor: "I really liked him and thought he liked me back. I told him that I loved him, and he said that he loved me back." The teenager stated that she texted him that she loved him, but Davidson responded in person. She further recalled being asked out to dinner by Davidson. The girl added: "He would tell me about his bedroom and that after I left school, I would go to his house. He said his bedroom had mirrors." I really liked him and thought he liked me back. I told him that I loved him, and he said that he loved me back Girl giving evidence The girl stated that at one time they spoke about his aftershave. She said: "He put his arm around me and said 'smell' then touched my face." Davidson also called her "pretty" on another occasion and remarked that he liked the girl with her legs crossed. The girl claimed that she did not report Davidson as she did not want him to get "in trouble." She added: "I thought after I left, there would be a chance to be with him." A 31-year-old woman - who is now a primary school teacher - told the court that she was taught by Davidson in fourth year. She described Davidson's classes as "uncomfortable" and "informal." The woman stated that Davidson would walk in front of her at "waist height" while facing her. She added: "He would lean himself on the table so his groin was on the table. He would wear particularly tight trousers." Each time she had messaged and I didn't reply, she would appear sheepish, embarrassed and apologetic for sending them and not to tell anyone David Davidson The woman stated that Davidson's penis would be "very apparent." She said: "As a 15-year-old or as an adult, I would find that uncomfortable." The woman recalled an incident in class where Davidson was said to have told her off for wagging her pinkie at him. She said: "He said it was done to describe his penis. "He said some people are growers and not showers, and at 15, I did not know what that meant. "I could understand that he was referencing his penis and told him to 'f*** off' - I was embarrassed and upset. "I was given into trouble and walked out of the class, and then I told the deputy head of the department because I shouted and swore at him." The woman stated that "nothing came" from the report. She also said that Davidson would lick his lips and raise his eyebrows. He would lean himself on the table so his groin was on the table. He would wear particularly tight trousers... we were eye level with his crotch A 24-year-old former student The woman further stated that Davidson would read a section of JRR Tolkien's novel 'The Hobbit' in a "suggestive voice." The section referred to a "nasty, dirty, wide hole." A 24-year-old former student earlier told jurors that Davidson would "stand close" to her in class. She said: "It wasn't just me, there were other students, we were eye level with his crotch." The now bar tender claimed that "creepy" Davidson made her feel "uncomfortable." The woman stated that Davidson also told her that he was attracted to people who smoked. Prosecutor Kyle Dalziel asked the witness if Davidson was aware that she smoked, and she replied: "Yes." The woman further claimed Davidson complimented her on her body and told her that she had a "womanly figure." She added that Davidson also made a comment about women in bikinis while on a school trip to a water park while in her presence. I didn't report him, but I should have. At 17, it is daunting to speak up A 24-year-old former student The woman recalled that Davidson referred to another girl in his class as "Jessica Rabbit." She stated that Davidson had a picture of Marilyn Monroe with her white dress on the wall of his classroom. Deirdre Flanigan, defending, put it to the witness that Davidson does not recall making the remarks on the school trip. The advocate followed up by asking if the woman had spoken to someone in the school administration about him. The woman replied: "I didn't report him, but I should have. At 17, it is daunting to speak up." Mr Dalziel later followed up with a similar question about why she did not speak up and the woman replied: "I didn't feel like I would be believed." Davidson - who is now a legal assistant at a law firm - told the court in his evidence he had "suspicions" that one of the girls liked him. He stated that he was "deeply ashamed" for not reporting the matters to senior members of staff at the school. Davidson added: "I am deeply sorry it ended up the way that it has - I was definitely swayed. "I should have reported it, and I didn't, seeing the girl giving evidence was horrifying viewing. "Each time she had messaged and I didn't reply, she would appear sheepish, embarrassed and apologetic for sending them and not to tell anyone."
