Two men have been charged after cannabis worth £285,000 was recovered within properties in Aberdeen city centre.
Three flats were searched by officers on Tuesday 20 February where they discovered cannabis plans being grown.
A 35-year-old and 28-year-old have been arrested and charged in connection and are both due to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Wednesday 21 February.
Sergeant Mark Rennie, of the Safer Cities Unit, said: “Anyone who introduces drugs into our communities for their own gain should be in absolutely no doubt that we will rigorously pursue every means possible to disrupt this activity.
“Seizures such as this show our commitment nationally to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious and Organised Crime Strategy.
“Locally our officers are determined to protect members of the public from this type of criminality, which will not be tolerated in Aberdeen city centre.
“Information and support from members of the public is vital to our work and I would encourage anyone with concerns about drugs activity in their area to contact Police Scotland on 101. Alternatively you can speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
