Officers acting on intelligence swooped on a property on St Peters Terrace, Buckie at around noon on Thursday September 11.
During the search, quantities of cocaine and ketamine were uncovered with a total estimated street value of approximately £5,600. A four-figure sum of cash was also seized.

Detective Constable Tom Spracklen, from the Elgin CID Proactive Unit, said: “Illegal substances cause real harm and misery to individuals, families and communities.
“This arrest underlines our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce, as we work to tackle organised crime networks profiting from exploitation.
“We need the public’s help in relation to drug dealing from our communities. I urge anyone with information or concerns about drugs or organised crime to contact Police Scotland on 101, or make a call anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
