A 42-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman have been arrested and charged in connection with supplying Class A drugs.

On Friday morning police stopped a car near the Craibstone roundabout and discovered £13,400 worth of cocaine in the vehicle.

Detective Constable Mathew Mckay said: “This has been an excellent recovery which included officers from the local area in Response, CID, and Roads Policing.

“Preventing the sale and supply of controlled drugs is a key focus and we rely on information from the public to help us continue disrupt such crimes."

They are due to appear in Aberdeen Sheriff Court at a later date.

Anyone with concerns or information on drug misuse and associated criminality should report this to officers via 101. In an emergency, or when a crime is in progress, always call 999.
