A man and a woman in Aberdeenshire have been charged in connection with the recovery of heroin with a street value of £6,500.

The find was made in Huntly on December 26 and a 42-year-old woman and 30-year-old man have been charged.

Police also said a 30-year-old local man had been charged in connection with the recovery of £1,550 worth of cocaine from a property in the Banchory area.

Reports have been submitted to the procurator fiscal in both cases.

Chief Inspector Murray Main, of Police Scotland, said: Targeting serious organised crime involving drugs is a priority for the division under Operation Aspen to ensure the north-east remains one of the safest places to live and work.

We continue to appeal to anyone with information about drugs where they live to contact Police Scotland.''
