Massive drugs haul in police raid

A £500,000 drugs haul has been seized by police officers in a raid on a car in Central Scotland.

The "substantial" find includes heroin, cocaine, amphetamine, ecstasy and cannabis resin.

It was discovered by officers when they pulled over the vehicle on the A80 near Castlecary on Thursday.

A 45-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman have been detained and will appear at Stirling Sheriff Court in connection with the incident.

Maureen Brown, Central Scotland Police's assistant chief constable, said: "A car was stopped and substantial quantities of heroin, cocaine, amphetamine, ecstasy and cannabis resin were recovered.

"This was a successful operation which has prevented these drugs from impacting on our communities.

"Central Scotland Police is totally committed to tackling drug dealers and will continue to actively pursue those involved in drug crime."
