“We work closely with our partners, not just locally but nationally to raise public awareness to ensure that victims are given the support they need.

“Drugs cause misery in our communities and those who import, sell and supply will take any opportunity to exploit vulnerable people. Police Scotland is committed to disrupting the activities of organised crime groups and making Scotland a hostile environment them to operate.

“This operation underlines our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious Organised Crime Strategy.”
