Four people have been arrested and £154,000 of drugs seized in a series of police raids in Edinburgh.
Officers, working as part of Operation Altogether, searched properties in Dumbiedykes, in the south-east of the city, last week.
A 49-year-old man was arrested when three kilogrammes of cocaine and amphetamine worth £154,000 were discovered in a property in Viewcraig Street on Monday last week. A replica gun was also seized along with £400 in cash, Lothian and Borders Police said.
Officers also searched an address in Holyrood Court and found a personal quantity of diazepam. A 28-year-old man was charged with alleged drug offences.
Last Wednesday, a 33-year-old man was found to be in possession of a quantity of cannabis during a stop-and-search in Viewcraig Gardens, and on the Thursday a personal quantity of cannabis was discovered in a flat in Dumbiedykes Road. A 37-year-old man was charged in connection with the find. Both men are due to appear in court later this month.
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
