Four charged over North East drug raids

Four people have been charged after cocaine and cannabis with a street value in excess of £11,000 and a low four figure sum of cash was recovered in Stonehaven and Aberdeen.

Acting on a tip off, officers carried out a raid in Provost Barclay Drive, Stonehaven on Sunday, 22 April. A man aged 30 and a woman aged 29 were charged as a result and were anticipated to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court yesterday, Monday, 23 April.

Officers also carried out a warrant in Bonnyview Drive, Aberdeen on Monday, 23 April and two men, both aged 21, were charged as a result. They are anticipated to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court today, Tuesday, 24 April.

Stonehaven Community Policing Team PC Wayne Smart said: "The last two days of activity has resulted in a significant amount of drugs being removed from our communities which would only have served to spread misery and harm.

"We rely on the support of our communities and encourage anyone who has concerns about drugs to contact us on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 to remain anonymous."
