Five men have been arrested and more than £11,000 in cash recovered after a drugs raid at nine properties in Torry.

The search took place today, with the five men - who are aged 23, 29, 34, 35 and 38 - expected to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court tomorrow.

The searches were part of the police's ongoing efforts to tackle organised crime in the area.

Detective Inspector Andrew Machray said: “The operation is part of our ongoing commitment to keep drugs off the streets and to provide support to anyone who needs it.

“We work closely with partners, such as housing providers and social work, to ensure anyone affected by drugs is fully supported in taking proactive and positive steps going forward.

“Safeguarding our communities remains a priority and we hope our presence in the area provides reassurance that we take drugs crime seriously.

“Anyone who is concerned about drugs in their community is asked to contact Police on 101 or to call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
