A man has been charged after police recovered almost £70,00 worth of drugs at two properties in Dundee.

Officers executed warrants at addresses on Fintryside and Lansdowne Court at around 1:10pm on Thursday, 20th June, 2024.

Heroin, with an estimated street value of £60,00, and amphetamines, with an estimated street value of around £9600, were recovered.

A 56-year-old man was released on an undertaking to appear in court at a later date after being charged in connection with drug offences.

Detective Inspector Julia Ogilvie from the Organised Crime and Counter Terrorism Unit in Dundee said: "We are dedicated to disrupting the trade in illegal drugs which brings nothing but harm to our communities here in Dundee.

"This activity highlights our continued commitment to our communities locally and more widely the country's Serious Organised Crime Strategy.

"Community intelligence is the lifeblood of operations such as this and I would urge anyone with concerns or information about drugs to call us on 101, or to contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
