Three charged over drugs find in Aberdeenshire

Three people have been charged after drugs were recovered in Aberdeen.

Police say they reacted to intelligence by stopping a car on the A90 at 9.50am yesterday.

Cocaine and heroin was found with an estimated street value of £29,600.

A 24-year-old woman, a 23-year-old man and a 49-year-old woman were charged with drug supply offences and are due to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on November 25.

Aberdeen CID Proactive’s Detective Sergeant Scott McKay said: "Officers carried out a pro-active stop on a vehicle which resulted in a significant seizure.

"We are committed to disrupting the illicit supply of drugs in our communities and we will use every tool and tactic at our disposal to remove these illegal substances from our streets.

"We can't tackle this alone though. We rely on the support of the public to build intelligence on drug-related issues so that we can act on their concerns.”

A 50-year-old man was also arrested but was released pending further enquiry.

Anyone with information about the supply of drugs should contact 101 or alternatively Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
