Cannabis plants estimated to be worth over £2.25 million have been recovered in Dundee.

On Monday, 8 January, 2024, officers executed search warrants in the Lorne Street and Ash Street areas of Dundee.

Across the two properties, approximately 3000 cannabis plants were found, with an estimated street value of over £2.25 million.

Four men, aged between 26 and 36, have been arrested and charged in connection with drugs offences.

They have each been reported to the Procurator Fiscal and are due to appear at Dundee Sheriff court on Tuesday, 9 January, 2023.

Detective Constable Chris Grieve said: “This is a substantial recovery and highlights our continued commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious Organised Crime Strategy.

“We will continue to use every tool and tactic at our disposal to prevent the sale and distribution of illegal drugs in our communities.

“Support from members of the public is absolutely vital to our work and I would continue to encourage anyone with information about drugs in their community to contact Police Scotland on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
