Two men have been arrested after drugs worth £60,000 were seized in a police raid.

Officers searched two properties in Birnam Road and Mid Street, Kirkcaldy, Fife, on Thursday and recovered 4kg of cannabis and half a kilo of cocaine.

Two men, aged 32 and 34, were arrested over the find which police said had a street value of £60,000.

They are due to appear at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court on Friday.

Detective Chief Inspector Alan O'Brien said: Thanks to vital intelligence gathered by the Organised Crime and Counter Terrorism Unit, large quantities of cocaine and cannabis have been seized before they could be distributed within our communities.

Tackling organised crime, which includes drugs offences, remains one of our top priorities and whenever we receive reports of this nature we will investigate thoroughly and bring those responsible to justice.

Members of the public who wish to report ongoing drug crime in their community can do so by calling 101 or by making an anonymous report to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
