Three men have been charged after more than £180,000 worth of drugs was recovered by police in two incidents.
One of the discoveries was made after police stopped a silver BMW because they were concerned about the way it was being driven on the A1 at Haddington, East Lothian, at about midday on Sunday.
They searched the vehicle and found what is believed to be cannabis with an estimated street value of up to £175,500.
A 20-year-old man has been charged in relation to the incident.
Drugs with an estimated street value of over £180,000 were recovered over the weekend.
