Three men have been arrested and charged after police seized over £200,000 worth of drugs at a ferry terminal in Shetland.
An intelligence-led search of a vehicle at the terminal in Lerwick found cocaine and herbal cannabis with an estimated street value of £203,000.
Police arrested three men aged 24, 28 and 36 on the morning of Friday, January 19 and they have all since been charged in connection with the recovery.
They are due to appear at Lerwick Sheriff Court on Monday, January 22.
