POLICE believe they have caused “considerable disruption” to criminal activity in the north of Scotland after seizing illegal drugs worth up to £45,000.
Two men were arrested and charged in connection with drug offences after officers discovered significant amounts of heroin and crack cocaine during a search of a property in Aberdeen.
Both men, aged 29 and 19, are due to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Thursday.

Police searched the property in the city’s Jute Street on Wednesday.
Detective Constable Lewis Ingram said: “This will have caused considerable disruption to criminal activity and highlights our commitment to cracking down on drugs.
“We remain committed to disrupting the illicit supply of drugs in our communities and we will use every tool and resource at our disposal to remove these illegal substances from our streets.
“Anyone with information or concerns regarding drugs in their community should contact Police via 101.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
