Appearing at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday, Yassier Maslah, 19, had pleaded guilty to possession of an illegal SIM card at Polmont Young Offenders Instituition on February 1.

The court heard he had secreted the SIM card inside a remote control and it was found by prison officers.

Maslah, now released from custody – although his address is still listed as Polmont YOI – was said to have a community payback order still to complete from Glasgow Sheriff Court.

Sheriff Maryam Labaki admonished him.
