Man held over £20,000 drugs seizure

 

Police have seized £20,000 worth of drugs after searches in two properties.

Officers from Strathclyde Police found the drugs in Wishaw, North Lanarkshire, after searching two properties under warrant in Goldcrest Court yesterday.

They recovered cocaine, amphetamine and cannabis with an estimated street value of £20,000, and 22lb (10kg) of cutting agent, the value of which is still to be established.

A 45-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the seizure.

Detective Chief Inspector Pat Campbell said: "This operation demonstrates our determination to rid our communities of drugs and serious and organised crime.

"Through effective intelligence-gathering, help and support from the community, we can successfully detect and arrest those involved in criminality and cause considerable disruption to them.

"This remains a high priority for us and we will continue to keep people safe by targeting those who are involved in the supply of illegal drugs."
