A man has been charged after police recovered drugs with an estimated street value of £65,600 from a car in the Highlands.

The incident occurred shortly after midnight on Friday, November 14, when officers on a routine patrol in the North Kessock area spotted a suspicious vehicle in a secluded car park.

They searched the car and found a quantity of cocaine and cannabis, as well as a large quantity of genuine and counterfeit cash within.
