Cannabis, with an estimated street value of one hundred and ten thousand pounds has been seized in Greenock.

Police stopped and searched two cars on Carnock Street around 4:40pm yesterday, 4 January before making the discovery.

Two men aged 44 and 35, and a 15-year-old boy, have been arrested and charged in connection with the recovery.

They were released on an undertaking to appear at Greenock Sheriff Court at a later date.

A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.

Detective Chief Inspector Steven Elliott said: “A significant amount of cannabis has been seized and removed from circulation. Such recoveries have a substantial impact on those involved in the supply of controlled drugs and those who gain financially from this type of criminality.

“Members of the public have a vital role to play in assisting us and I would urge anyone who has any information relating to drugs in their communities to contact 101. Alternatively Crimestoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.”
