Drugs with estimated value of £340,000 recovered in Uphall

Drugs with an estimated street value of around £340,000 have been recovered in Uphall.

Around 9.40am on Wednesday, 11 June, 2025, officers attended an address in the South Middleton area where a cannabis cultivation was discovered within.

A 36-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection, and is expected to appear at Livingston Sheriff Court on Thursday, 12 June, 2025. Enquiries are ongoing.

Detective Sergeant John Irvine said: “This is a significant recovery and is an example of our efforts to disrupt the activity of illegal drugs in Scotland.

“Drugs cause misery in our communities and the public has an important role to play in helping Police Scotland target those responsible for the cultivation, supply and sale of illegal substances.

"In addition, this recovery underlines our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country's Serious Organised Crime Strategy.

"Anyone with any information or concerns about drugs in their community can call Police Scotland on 101, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."

Police Scotland support those who wish to become police officers, special constables or police staff by hosting various online and in-person recruitment events throughout the year.
