This latest high value recovery comes after a record week of seizures totalling almost £14million across the country.

“This is one of the largest drugs recoveries ever made in Scotland and comes off the back of a number of other major seizures throughout December.
"Significant recoveries such as this highlights how taking drugs off the streets is a priority for Police Scotland, and further underlines our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious Organised Crime Strategy.
“Information from the public is the lifeblood which helps us recover illegal drugs and to identify those involved in their supply.
