Two men and a woman have been arrested and charged with drugs and firearm offences following searches at two properties in east Edinburgh, under Operation Wolf yesterday.
Officers carried out drugs warrants at two properties in the Niddrie area of the city, which resulted in the recovery of approximately £2900 of controlled drugs, a four figure sum of cash, mobile phones, and an illegal weapon.
As a result a 55-year-old man and a 47 year old man were arrested and charged, and a 45 year old woman was detained and released, pending further enquiry.
Officers working under Operation Wolf carried out high visibility reassurance patrols while these properties were being searched and as a result a man was detained in relation to a domestic incident.
At the same time, a search of a property in the Lady Nairne area of Edinburgh resulted in the recovery of controlled drugs and suspected stolen property worth £2500, including two bikes. A 42 year old man and a 39 year old man will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal.
Superintendent Matt Richards said: “Yesterday a total of £5000 was recovered in drugs and suspected stolen property in the east of the city. This is another success for Operation Wolf, where we have demonstrated we won’t tolerate criminality in the community by cracking down on those responsible in the supply of drugs.
“The aim of Operation Wolf is to target the issues and concerns of residents across the city, and we will continue this approach over the next week.”
