CANNABIS plants worth more than £2 million have been found in a drugs raid, police say.
Police Scotland said officers searched two properties in Dundee and found around 3000 cannabis plants, with an estimated street value of more than £2.25m.
The searches were carried out in Lorne Street and Ash Street on Monday.
Four men, aged between 26 and 36, have been arrested and charged with drug offences in connection with the discovery and are expected to appear in court.
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.”
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!
