Two men have been sentenced after a £950,000 drugs bust in Tayside.

24-year-old Brandon Hayter will serve 46 months for the supply of drugs and 44-year-old David Henehan was given a 300 hours community payback order for similar offences.

The drug raids happened in Monifieth and Dundee in September last year and involved the recovery of more than £17,000 in cash.

Detective Inspector Julia Ogilvie, Organised Crime and Counter Terrorism Unit North, said: "This conviction and sentencing highlights our commitment to disrupting the illegal and harmful supply of drugs in our communities and is another step towards dismantling the organised criminal networks.

"I hope it sends a message to those involved in serious and organised crime that you will be caught and made to face the consequences.

"There is no place for serious organised criminality in Scotland and, working in partnership with other agencies and members of the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce, we will continue our fight against such activity to keep our communities safe."
