Over £200,000 of class B drugs seized by officers during proactive work in Glasgow

Police Scotland can confirm that over £200,000 worth of class B drugs were seized in Glasgow yesterday (Thursday, 26 August, 2021).

Acting on intelligence, officers executed a warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act at a property on Abbey Drive. Herbal cannabis, with an estimated street value of £114,000 was seized, along with a five-figure sum of cash.

A 40-year-old man has been charged in connection with drug offences and is due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court today (Friday, 27 August, 2021).

In a second, unconnected incident, officers stopped a man on Craighall Road at around 9.45pm last night and recovered herbal cannabis from his possession. An address on the same street was searched and a further amount of herbal cannabis was seized. In total the drugs found had an estimated street value of £91,000.

A 29-year-old man has been charged in connection with this and is due to appear in Glasgow Sheriff Court today (Friday, 27 August, 2021).

Detective Inspector Craig McPhail said: “This work outlines our continued commitment to tackle drug offences in Glasgow and I would like to thank the public for their support in this.

“We will continue to work hard to disrupt and deter the illegal sale and supply of drugs in Scotland. Anyone who has information about drug crime should report concerns to us via 101 so that we can investigate and take appropriate action."
