Dundee addict unconscious, trousers down and holding a needle

Woman pictured unconscious, trousers down and holding a needle in a Dundee close. Admits breach of the peace.

A Dundee woman has been pictured unconscious, trousers down and holding a needle in her left hand in a disturbing image that exposed Scotland’s heroin shame.

In Court she admitted her part in the ‘horror episode’. The pair were found in a close in Dundee’s Albert Street, slumped in a corner of the entrance way to a Dundee tenement block in a drug induced stupor.

“The accused was found to be in a state of undress and had her trousers down to her ankles exposing her underwear.

“Witnesses thought she may have fallen down the stairs and approached her.

“They noticed she was holding a hypodermic needle in her hand.

“The matter was reported to police who arrived shortly after.

“The accused was bleeding from the injection site in her groin and an ambulance was called.”

With a 2 month jail sentence for the man and a so-far deferred sentence for the woman who admitted a breach of the peace, the case highlight the real horrors of IV drug abuse at its lowest. It is dangerous for members of the public, for emergency services staff and for those whose task is to clean up drug litter and blood from the scene afterwards.
