Two brothers caught with cannabis with a street value of more than £800,000 were behind bars on Wednesday.

John and Liam Cowan were remanded in custody after they admitted dealing the drug in Fife last year.

The pair were caught after police received a tip-off about their illegal activities.

Officers then raided the pair's home in Kelty, as well as their parents' house in Lumphinnans.

They found 163 kilos of cannabis resin, as well as hundreds of pounds which the brothers claimed was income from their landscaping and car dealing businesses.

However, at the High Court in Edinburgh on Wednesday, 25-year-old John and 22-year-old Liam pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of the drug.

Judge Lord Brailsford told them the seizure was one of the largest he had seen from Fife and remanded them in custody pending sentence next month.

The brothers could also face attempts by prosecutors to seize their profits under proceeds of crime laws.
