Nine detained for city drugs haul

Nine people have been arrested after crack cocaine worth £48,000 was seized in Aberdeen.

Four men from Jamaica, a woman and man from Manchester, two women from Crimond and a man from Aberdeen were detained.

The operation in the Northfield area of the city on Wednesday evening also saw a "significant" sum on money recovered.

Grampian Police said it brought the total value of drugs found in the past week to £308,000, with more than £49,000 in money also seized.

Det Insp Malcolm Macleod, head of the drug squad, said it was a "demonstration of our commitment to make our communities safer".
