Five men have been charged following the recovery of drugs in Aberdeen.

They're aged 23, 25, 39, 42 and 43.

Heroin, 'crack' cocaine, cannabis and Xanax was found on Monday, 29 January on Victoria Road and Girdleness Road in Torry.

The estimated street value of the drugs recovered is around £1500 and £3000 in cash was also recovered.

Inspector Chris Kerr, Area Inspector for the Torry Community Policing Team said:"Through engagement with local people living in Torry, we know that the issue of drug dealing is a real concern for them. Consequently, this issue is one of our local policing priorities and my team take every opportunity to disrupt those individuals engaged in such activity."

Detective Sergeant John Snedden from the CID Proactive Unit said: "We are urging people to be aware of the signs that drugs are being supplied in your community and to report any concerns they have to police.

In particular will we target those who bring drugs into the North East from out with the area and look to target vulnerable people by using their homes to store or deal drugs - known as 'cuckooing'.

"Police can be contacted on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
