£125,000 worth of drugs have been taken off the streets after police in North Lanarkshire seized what's thought to be cocaine from a car on the M74 near Bothwell services last night at 6:40pm.

Two men - both 26 - have been arrested and look set to appear in court on Monday.

Detective Inspector Martin McGhee, Specialist Crime Division, said: ‘Teams of officers work every day to gather intelligence and target those who are involved in the supply of controlled drugs within our communities.

'We will always look to act upon information provided to us by the local community, who play a vital role in our response to those involved in the illicit supply of drugs.

‘I would urge anyone with information to contact Police Scotland on 101. Alternatively CRIMESTOPPERS can be contacted on 0800 555 111 where information can be provided anonymously’.
