Officers in Dundee have arrested and charged three people following warrants which led to the recovery of over £60,000 in drugs in total.

On Tuesday, police executed a search warrant at a property on Clepington Street and seized over £20,000 in cocaine and cannabis. A 20-year-old man was arrested and charged as a result. He was reported to the Procurator Fiscal and is expected to appear in court at a later date.

On Thursday, a further warrant was carried out in the Springfield area, in which a quantity of cocaine was recovered, with an estimated value of over £40,000. A 23-year-old man and 24-year-old woman were arrested and charged in connection with the matter. They appeared in court on Friday, 25 November, 2022.
