A London man has appeared in court in connection with the recovery of £150,000 worth of drugs in Aberdeen.

The drugs, crack cocaine with a street value of more than £125,000 and heroin with a value in excess of £25,000, were seized in the city centre area on Monday.

It is the largest recovery of crack cocaine in Scotland so far this year, police said.

Jamie Lewis entered no plea or declaration at Aberdeen Sheriff Court, appearing on drugs charges.

The 31 year-old was remanded in custody, and is expected to appear before a sheriff again next week.
