Man charged following drugs recovery in Aberdeen

Officers have arrested and charged a 51-year-old man for drugs offences following the discovery of a cannabis cultivation within a property in Aberdeen.

Around 5.10pm on Sunday, 19 June, 2022, officers were carrying out enquiries in the Grandholm Grove area and discovered a cannabis cultivation within a property with an estimated street value of around £520,000.

The man is due to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court today (Tuesday, 21 June).

Detective Sergeant Erika Griffiths, of North East CID Proactive, said: “We have seized a large quantity of drugs and have arrested one individual.

“Taking drugs off the street is a priority for Police Scotland and we will ensure the North East remains a hostile environment for anyone looking to engage in criminality.

“Anybody with any information or concerns about drugs within their community should contact police via 101 where we can then investigate.”
