Three people are due to appear in court following a county lines operation in Aberdeen.

Police seized Class A drugs with an estimated value of £35,000 and a four-figure sum of cash during a search of properties on Esslemont Avenue and Granton Place on Wednesday 19 June.

The two men, aged 30 and 31, and a woman, 23, are all from the London area and were arrested and charged in connection with the recovery.

All three are due to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Thursday 20 June and a report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.
