Two men have been charged in relation to drugs offences following the recovery of heroin and crack cocaine valued at over £45,000 in Fraserburgh.

The recovery was made as part of an intelligence led operation on Monday 30 July 2018, after a vehicle was stopped by officers on Saltoun Place in Fraserburgh at approximately 10.10pm. The total value of the drugs recovered has been valued at £45,120.

A 37 year old local man and 21 year old man from Liverpool are expected to appear at Peterhead Sheriff Court on Wednesday 1 August 2018.

Fraserburgh Community Policing Inspector Kevin Goldie said: “Police Scotland is committed to disrupting the supply of illegal drugs into our local communities.

“Anyone with information about drug misuse in our area or who notices unusual behaviour in the community is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101. All intelligence we receive, no matter how insignificant it may seem, helps us to build a bigger picture which enables us undertake intelligence led operations and further disrupt the supply of drugs.
