Drugs with an estimated street value of over £800,000 have been recovered at an address in West Lothian.

Police raided a property on Tuesday morning on Young Street in West Calder and found a large cannabis cultivation inside.

However, despite the discovery, officers are still trying to find those responsible.

Detective Constable Craig Drummond said: “This is a significant recovery and is an example of our efforts to disrupt the trade in illegal drugs in Scotland.

“It also underlines our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious Organised Crime Strategy.

“We would continue to urge anyone with information or concerns about drugs activity in their area to contact Police Scotland on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

"Anyone with any information relating to this particular recovery should quote incident 0700 of 10 September."
