LOOK PERU'S BACK Peru drug mule Melissa Reid back home in Scotland after three years in jail
The coke smuggler was told to go home 'to the streets' after her release from prison.
Landed … Drug mule Melissa Reid snapped at Glasgow airport
DRUG mule Melissa Reid has landed back in Britain after spending nearly three years in jail in Peru.
Jumping for joy…Reid appears full of energy as she reaches her home
Reid, 22, was pictured as she landed at Glasgow airport at 9.45pm
on Wednesday night with dad Billy and British embassy officials.
She boarded a flight to Amsterdam from Peru on Tuesday before she caught a connecting flight to Scotland.

Peru’s prison service said she could go home “free, to the streets”.
She appears eager to get inside her home after her ordeal
Reid, of Lenzie, East Dunbartonshire, was arrested in 2013 trying to smuggle £1.5million of cocaine onto a flight. She and Michaella McCollum, 23, from Dungannon, Co Tyrone, had 24lb of it in their bags.
Incoming … Reid’s flight from Amsterdam lands at Glasgow
Reid was later snapped making a dash from her car into her family’s home in Lenzie on Wednesday night. The freed coke smuggler leapt over a hedge and dashed up the driveway into the plush detached villa.
She left her dad to carry her bag into the house
Frantic Reid ran to be reunited with her mum Debra, 54, after almost three years locked up. Her dad Billy, who had flown from South America with his daughter,
carried her bags from a maroon car which transported the pair from
Glasgow airport to Lenzie at around 10.30pm.
Earlier a Tesco delivery van was seen dropping off bags of groceries ordered in preparation for her return.
Janeth Sanchez, a spokeswoman for the country's prison service, said
last week that the Scot had "served her time in prison according to the
law and can now go to her country, free, to the streets".
Her KLM flight from Dutch capital Amsterdam touched down at around 9.45pm and left the airport by around 10.10pm.
Reid, dressed in dark jeans, white Converse trainers and a striped
blouse, was given a swanky business class seat on the last leg of her
6,000-mile journey.
