FIVE people have been charged following the discovery of a cannabis cultivation estimated to be worth £1.2million in a Scottish village.
Police Scotland said the cultivation was found in premises at Polbeth Industrial Estate, Polbeth, near Livingston at about 10.20am on Wednesday.
The force said five men, aged 36, 29, 26, 22 and 20, were arrested and charged in connection with alleged drugs offences.
They are expected to appear in court in due course.
Police Constable Michael Fairbanks said: “We would continue to urge anyone with information or concerns about drugs activity in their area 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!
