Drugs worth £300,000 recovered in Clydebank

Drugs with a potential value of up to £300,000 have been recovered from a flat in West Dunbartonshire.

Around 11.35am on Monday, 17 March, we received information that drugs were in a property in Caledonia Street, Clydebank.

Officers attended and a cannabis cultivation of around 500 plants was discovered inside.

Enquiries remain ongoing to trace those responsible.

Detective Constable Jemma Green said: “This is a significant recovery and is an example of our efforts to disrupt the trade in illegal drugs in Scotland.

“Drugs cause misery in our all communities, not just cities and towns.

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

"Our enquiries remain ongoing to establish the full circumstances, and we are appealing for anyone with any information to contact us.”

Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 1164 of 17 March, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
