Two arrested after £10m worth of cocaine and heroin discovered in Glasgow raid

Two men have been arrested after drugs worth around £10m were discovered in a police raid in Glasgow.

Officers executed a warrant at an address on Balintore Street in the Shettleston area of the city on Sunday morning, recovering a significant quantity of cocaine, as well as a quantity of heroin.

The two men, aged 43 and 22, have been arrested and charged in connection. They are due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.

Police say further enquiries remain ongoing.

This latest high-value recovery comes after a record week of seizures totalling almost £14m across the country.

Assistant Chief Constable Stuart Houston said: “Drugs cause nothing but misery in our communities and we are dedicated to disrupting the activities of those involved in their supply.

“This is one of the largest drugs recoveries ever made in Scotland and comes off the back of a number of other major seizures throughout December.

“Significant recoveries such as this highlights how taking drugs off the streets is a priority for Police Scotland, and further underlines our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious Organised Crime Strategy.

“Information from the public is the lifeblood which helps us recover illegal drugs and to identify those involved in their supply.

“Anyone with information or concerns about drugs should contact us via 101 or make a call to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
