Cannabis found in car stopped on A90 in Dundee

Officers from Police Scotland’s Road Policing Unit stopped a car in Dundee last night (Friday, 14 May, 2021) and recovered over £30,000 of class B drugs.

The car, a black BMW 1 series, was stopped at around 11.15pm on the eastbound section of the A90, Kingsway West.

Two men were arrested at the scene and a third man ran off from the vehicle.

A search of the vehicle found a number of weapons and a large amount of cannabis, which had an estimated street value of £33,500.

The men, aged 30 and 31, have been charged in connection with the incident and are due to appear at Dundee Sheriff Court on Monday, 17 May. Officers are following a positive line of enquiry to trace the third man from the vehicle.

Sergeant Gordon Dickson from the Road Policing Unit based in Dundee said: “This car was stopped as part of intelligence-led work and reinforces our commitment in tackling the illegal sale and supply of controlled drugs.

“Anyone with information or concerns over drug crime should report this to Police Scotland on 101. We will continue to disrupt and deter those who commit drug offences and work to combat such illegal activity on the road networks across Scotland.”
