A man has been charged in connection with a drugs haul seized by police in a raid.

Officers swooped in on a property in Paisley’s Lochfield Drive, Renfrewshire, on Tuesday.

Police said the heroin recovered had an estimated street value of up to £174,000.

A 63-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the incident.

He is due to appear at Paisley Sheriff Court on Wednesday.

Detective inspector Robert Bowie, of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde’s Serious and Organised Crime Team, said: “This significant recovery reinforces our determination to target serious and organised crime.

“Drug misuse brings nothing but misery to our communities and people’s lives can be ruined.

“I want to reassure the public that we will continue to use every tool and tactic at our disposal to remove these illegal substances from our streets.

“Serious and organised crime has no place in our society and we will continue to disrupt this, and any other criminal activity, which impacts on our lives and our communities.”
