Firearms and drugs potentially worth around £300,000 have been seized from two properties in the east end of Glasgow.

Police raided the houses on Thursday morning as part of an intelligence led operation, and heroin and cannabis with a street value of £300,000 were recovered along with a firearm and several rounds of ammunition.

Two men aged 30 and 36 and a 26-year-old woman were arrested and have appeared in court.

Detective Inspector Stuart Lipsett from OCCTU (West) said: “Police Scotland will not tolerate this type of reckless and criminal activity, which clearly causes risk and harm to our communities.

“Specialist officers work every day to gather intelligence and target individuals who engage in the supply of controlled drugs, and with the continued support from members of the public, we will put a stop to it.

“Anyone with information regarding drugs activity in their area is urged to contact their local police office via 101 or call CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111 where details can be given in confidence."
