Her glitzy lifestyle made her the talk of a part of Glasgow where addiction has claimed the lives of scores of people. But Street Valium Queen Jodie Gilmour’s crime empire fell apart after the underworld Encrochat phone network was cracked.
Gilmour openly bragged of her wealth, posting photographs featuring wads of cash, fancy cars and Louis Vuitton bags.
And when angry people pointed the finger at her and drug dealer mother Shirley in 2016, she was unrepentant, accusing whistleblowers of being “fly grassing c****”.
Gilmour, from Glasgow’s Possilpark, was caged for four years on February 18 at the High Court in Dundee after admitting her involvement in serious organised crime, report The Daily Record.
When cops raided her home in 2023 she had been on their radar for 10 years.
She had faced charges alongside her mum, who was found guilty for possessing diazepam and cannabis with intent to supply. Gilmour herself was cleared of possession.
She began to post photographs on Facebook showing off wads of cash and bragged of her “decent set a teeth”.
The following year her boyfriend Ryan Bradford was caught with 400,000 fake Valium pills at their home. They both faced charges and Bradford pled guilty but Gilmour had her not guilty plea accepted.
Three years later in 2020 when the criminal network Encrochat was hacked by detectives, she was unmasked as a major player in the street Valium trade.
Detectives uncovered Encrochat logs under under her username “scarabflicker” which showed she was in regular contact with numerous drug figures. She even discussed setting up her own pill factory to flood Scotland with more than one million street Valium tablets.
The messages also revealed Gilmour had been in trading high-end luxury watches for drugs and bragged about being able to sell a kilo of cannabis per week.
Detectives had been gathering evidence for years and in 2023 customs officers intercepted a package from Las Vegas heading for Gilmour’s home. Inside the parcels was cannabis disguised as candles.
When Police Scotland officers eventually raided her home, and found her sleeping beside a £25,000 Rolex watch. She was also found to passed more than £500,000 through her bank account in just three years.
During court proceedings, it was heard that texts were sent about the sale of “scoobs”, or Benzos. Gilmour offered to supply 150,000 of the pills to an associate remarking she had “a good few”.
The hood replied: “U should have – ur the queen a scoobs.” Prosecutor Michael Macintosh said Gilmour, who banked and transferred dirty cash, offered to swap a stolen £35,000 watch for 220,000 tablets.
Other chats mentioned the drugs being “belters” and cannabis deals at £5,300 per kilogram. Mr Macintosh said Gilmour claimed benefits while a cleaning firm in her name had an annual turnover of up to £43,540.
Despite knowing she was heading to jail, Gilmour continued to post videos on TikTok showing off her wealth and flashing designer brands, such as Tom Ford and Louis Vuitton, along with cosmetic procedures.
She was locked up earlier this year for organised crime charges including alteration and supply of controlled drugs, and handling organised crime funds through various bank accounts.
