He is appeared at Dunfermline Sheriff Court on Wednesday charged with drugs offences.

Fife Constabulary said the seizure "reinforces the commitment to tackling serious and organised crime, and reducing the availability of controlled drugs".

Detective Chief Superintendent Garry McEwan added: "The targeting of those involved drug dealing and organised crime is a very high priority for Fife Constabulary.

"The misery caused to local communities by this form of criminality cannot be understated, and Fife Constabulary is fully committed to use all available resources to target, disrupt and detect those involved.

"On this occasion, £150,000 of drugs has been removed from the streets of Fife, and I want this to serve as a warning to those involved in the supply of drugs within our communities that such criminal activities will not be tolerated.

"This brings the total value of Class A controlled drugs seized within the last 5 days to £250,000 and Fife Constabulary will continue to target those involved in criminality throughout the Kingdom.

"This seizure is further evidence of what can be achieved when working closely with Fife's communities
