Colin Lowe, a singer and part-time magician, told Oxford Crown Court the cocaine was put in his car by a man called 'Chooks'
Jurors took less than three hours to find Scot singer Colin Lowe not guilty of possession with intent to supply the block of class A drugs found inside a ‘stage light’ box.
From the witness box, the Magic Circle official said he had no idea there was cocaine in the vehicle. He had allowed an acquaintance, known to him as ‘Charlie’ or by the nickname ‘Chooks’, to place what he thought were cigarettes in alight box after he was asked to take the tobacco product to Chooks’ associate on the south coast.
The first mention of ‘Chooks’ and his cigarettes, which Lowe accepted he thought might have been ‘dodgy’, came during the trial. Quizzed by prosecutor David Parvin, he denied ‘making up’ his defence about Chooks and the cigarettes.
