Detectives in Aberdeen can confirm that a six-figure sum of Class A drugs has been seized following a proactive operation in the Mastrick area over the weekend.

Around 12.10pm on Saturday, 4 December, a warrant was executed at a property on East Main Avenue. A quantity of heroin and cocaine was recovered, with an estimated total street value of over £500,000.

Two men, aged 27 and 31, and a 29-year-old woman have been arrested and charged in connection with the recovery. They are expected to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court today (Monday, 6 December).
