Two men have been arrested and charged in Dundee after police seized a cocaine haul worth £1.2m.

Officers raided a property in the Charleston area on June 9, where cocaine with an estimated street value of £1,000,000 was recovered.

A 26-year-old man was arrested and charged after the significant seizure.

Later the same day, road policing officers also arrested and charged a 33-year-old man after a vehicle stop in Dundee.

They recovered £200,000 worth of cocaine as well as around £120,000 in cash from the car.

Both men are due to appear at Dundee Sheriff Court on Monday, June 13.
