Drugs worth nearly half a million pounds seized by police

A drugs haul worth nearly half a million pounds has been seized by police following a search of a property in Glasgow.

Heroin and cocaine, with a value of around £420,000, was recovered by officers following a pre-planned operation in the Parkhouse area of the city on Friday.

A 35-year-old woman and a 31-year-old man have been arrested and charged in connection with the recovery.

They are expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.

Detective inspector Alan Ferguson said: “This day of action saw officers target individuals involved in serious and organised crime and shows our determination to combat drug abuse.

“This significant recovery ensures these substances cannot be sold, and cannot bring harm and misery to our local communities. 

“Anyone with information about drugs in their local area is asked to contact police and be assured that action will be taken.”
