iStockA man has been arrested after cannabis worth £100,000 was found inside a car on a motorway in Dumfries and Galloway.
The 23-year-old has been charged in connection with the find and road traffic offences.
Police are now looking to trace another two men who fled the scene when the car was stopped on Saturday.
The drug haul was found by road police officers during a routine stop on the M74 at around 12.10pm.
The Audi A4 was stopped near to Junction 16 at Johnstonebridge and 10kg of cannabis was found inside.
Detective Constable Thomas Dingwall, from Dumfries CID, said: “This recovery, and the good work involved from Road Policing officers, shows that criminals may try to evade us, but we will use every tool and tactic at our disposal to remove illegal drugs from our communities.”
