Three men have been arrested and charged after drugs with a street value of around £1.35million were recovered in Glasgow.
Police raided a property in the Tresta Road area of the city around 6.10pm on Thursday, discovering a "significant quantity of cocaine" as well as "other drug related equipment".
The men, aged 29, 32, and 41, were arrested and charged in connection.
They are due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal, police said.
Detective Superintendent Steven Elliot of Police Scotland’s Organised Crime and Counter Terrorism Unit said: “I’d like to thank the community for their continued support and information which helps us remove illegal, harmful substances from our streets.
“This investigation underlines our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country's Serious Organised Crime Strategy. We are committed to tackling the supply and distribution of drugs and will continue to work with partner agencies to make our communities safer.
“Anyone who has information or concerns about the sale and supply of drugs is urged to contact Police Scotland via 101. Alternatively, if you’d prefer to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
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
