A man has been arrested and charged following the recovery of drugs worth £250,000 from a property in Aberdeenshire.

Officers searched the building on West Park Avenue in Inverbervie yesterday, recovering a large cannabis cultivation.

The 29 year-old man is appearing in Aberdeen Sheriff court today.

Detective Constable Rob Graham from the North East CID Proactive Team said:

“This was a very significant recovery and sends a clear message that drugs have absolutely no place in our community.

“Officers work hard on a daily basis to gather intelligence and disrupt this harmful activity and I would urge anyone with information about drugs in their area to contact Police Scotland via 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
