Detectives have seized cannabis worth an estimated £700,000 from a property in Kilmarnock.

Officers attended the property in the Glenfield Place area around 8.15am on Thursday, 17 April to execute a warrant and found a cultivation of 1100 plants within.

“Seizures such as this show our commitment nationally to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious and Organised Crime Strategy.

“We will continue to take all steps to tackle and disrupt individuals involved in drug supply and I encourage anyone with any information to contact Police Scotland on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
