Four people have been arrested after drugs and firearms were recovered following a search of properties in Glasgow.
Cocaine, amphetamine paste and cannabis resin worth an estimated £57,000 were seized during the operation on Tuesday.
Firearms and ammunition were also recovered in the searches in Torr Place in the north of the city.
Two women aged 55 and 58 and a 52-year-old man were arrested and detained in connection with alleged drugs offences.
A 61-year-old man was also arrested and is being held over alleged drugs and firearms offences.
Detective Inspector Jim Biggam said: "Drugs and firearms have absolutely no place in our communities and we have specialist teams of officers working on a daily basis to target those individuals who engage in serious and organised crime.
"Intelligence from members of the public is vital to the work our officers do and I would continue to encourage people to pass on information and engage with the police to help us tackle this issue.
"Anyone with information or concerns regarding serious and organised crime in their community can contact their local police station via 101."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
