Police have seized a significant quantity of cocaine estimated to be worth £1 million from a property in Aberdeen.

Officers carried out a search warrant on Ferrier Gardens yesterday where they made the discovery.

A 31-year-old has been arrested in connection with the recovery and is due to appear in Aberdeen Sheriff Court today.

Detective Inspector Robin Sim said: “This is a significant recovery and is an example of our efforts to disrupt the trade in illegal drugs in the North East of Scotland.

“This operation also underlines our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious Organised Crime Strategy.

“Activity such as this is driven by community intelligence and I would urge anyone with information or concerns about drugs should contact us on 101, or make a call anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
