Cannabis haul worth £250,000 found in Kirkintilloch

Police have seized a haul of cannabis worth around £250,000 during a raid in East Dunbartonshire.

Officers found more than 500 plants at a property in High Street Industrial Estate, Kirkintilloch, at around 1.30 pm on Tuesday.

The operation was carried out by officers from Greater Glasgow's Serious and Organised Crime Unit, acting under a warrant.

Police said no-one has yet been arrested, with inquiries ongoing.

Detective Inspector Steven Elliott said: “This is a significant seizure and I've no doubt this site was under the direction of organised criminals.

“This operation will have caused considerable disruption to their criminal activity and highlights our continued commitment to cracking down on drugs.

“We will continue to target those involved in our efforts to curb this illegality.'
