Dogs rescued and drugs recovered in joint operation between Police Scotland and Scottish SPCA

A joint operation between local officers from Ayrshire Police Division and the Scottish SPCA led to the rescue 14 dogs and the discovery of Class B drugs.

Around 9.30am on Tuesday, 4 May, a search warrant was executed at an address in Logan Gate Terrace, Logan.

During the course of the search, 14 dogs were rescued and a quantity of Class B Drugs, believed to be cannabis, were seized.

A 24-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with drugs offences. He was released on an undertaking to appear before Ayr Sheriff Court at a later date.

A separate report will be submitted by the Scottish SPCA in relation to the rescued dogs in due course.

Inspector Julie McLeish of Cumnock Police Office said: “This operation was the result of a well-planned and coordinated approach between the Scottish SPCA and Police Scotland which has led to a number of dogs being rescued, as well as disrupting further drug supply and the impact it can have within the local community. 

“I would like to thank the SSPCA for their hard work and continued partnership with Ayrshire Police Division. 

“If you have any information on those that deal drugs within the community contact your local policing team by calling 101, or 999 in an emergency. You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
