Published 23rd Nov 2015

Nine men and five women are due in court today after a series of drug raids in Fraserburgh and St Combs.

More than £4,00 worth of heroin and crack worth almost £1,000 has been seized, as well as thousands of pounds in cash.

Those arrested are aged between 16 and 53 - some of them are from the Liverpool area.

Detective Inspector Stuart McAdam said, "Friday's activities add to the recent success of Operation Banook where we have seen a significant quantity of controlled drugs being removed from the streets of Aberdeenshire. "We are determined to utilise all of the resources available to us to take action. "As has been said many times before, as well as the contribution made by our partners, much of the success of this operation, is due to the information provided to us by members of the public. "I would like to take this opportunity to thank the public for their information and ask that they continue to report to us any suspicions they have."
