Three men charged after police seize £120,000 worth of drugs

Three men have been charged after police seized more than £120,000 worth of drugs in two separate incidents on the same day.

Officers recovered a four-figure sum of money, a quantity of cocaine and suspected MDMA when they stopped a Volkswagen Scirocco vehicle on Wallace Street, Glasgow at about 10am on Friday.

They then searched a property in the street and recovered cocaine, MDMA, heroin and mixing agent.

Police said the drugs recovered from the vehicle and the property have an estimated street value of about £83,350.

Two men, aged 18 and 25, were arrested and charged and were released on an undertaking to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court at a later date, police said.

Later on Friday, officers stopped a Volkswagen Golf vehicle on Wallace Street at about 6.35pm which led them to then search properties in North Dryburgh Road, Wishaw; Strathclyde Street, Dalmarnock and Kilbirnie Street, Glasgow.

Following the vehicle and property searches, a quantity of heroin, cocaine, and herbal cannabis was recovered with an estimated street value of £37,000, along with a four-figure sum of money.

Police said that a 37-year-old man was arrested and charged.

He was expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.

Detective Inspector Craig McPhail said: “This was a significant recovery and, as a result of both searches, we have taken an estimate of over £120,000 worth of drugs off the streets.”
