Heroin with a street value of £3.5 million has been seized in a police raid on two homes.
A man and woman were arrested during the operation in Glasgow yesterday afternoon, which also uncovered £175,000 worth of cannabis.
Officers from Strathclyde Police discovered the heroin haul during a search of homes in Shawhill Road, Pollokshaws, and Mavisbank Gardens, near Kinning Park.
The cannabis was found at a unit on an industrial estate in Lloyd Street, Rutherglen.
A 26-year-old man and a woman aged 28 will appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court today in connection with the drugs find.
Detective Chief Inspector Ricky Ness said: "This is one of the largest seizures the force has made this year and shows our ongoing commitment to keeping people safe by ridding Strathclyde's streets of the menace of drugs and tackling serious and organised crime."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
