CLASS A drugs with a street value of £100,000 have been seized by police.
Grampian Police recovered quantities of cocaine and heroin in Aberdeen in two operations yesterday.
Four men were arrested in connection with £90,000 of heroin which officers discovered in the Airyhall and Mastrick areas of the city along with a four-figure sum of cash.
The men, aged 17, 19, 22 and 50, are all local.
A fifth man was also arrested in a separate incident when dealer quantities of heroin and crack cocaine were recovered by police after a 20-year-old man from Manchester was searched at Aberdeen station.
All five are due to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court today.
Detective Inspector Kevin Walker said: "Grampian Police are committed to tackling organised crime which has an impact on our communities.
"These two significant seizures are further examples of this and we will continue to make the Grampian Police area as hostile an environment as possible for those involved in the sale or supply of controlled drugs."
Reports have been sent to the procurator-fiscal.
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
