Drugs and cash recovered in police searches

Police have seized £47,600 in drugs and cash as Operation Wolf activities continue throughout the city.

Following the execution of warrants at three addresses in the Moredun area on Wednesday 2nd July, £40,000 in cash, an air rifle and a quantity of drugs was recovered.

A 37-year-old man and a 55-year-old man were charged with supplying a controlled substance. Enquiries are continuing.

Superintendent Matt Richards said: “This is another fantastic result for Operation Wolf, where we have successfully recovered a large quantity of cash and controlled substances.

“This is the first result for Phase 2 of Operation Wolf, where we build on the intelligence provided to us by communities throughout the first stage of the operation. Working so closely with the public generated over 200 intelligence logs or lines of enquiry for officers in the city. Our work continues to ensure we go after those who are concerned in the supply of drugs, as well as those involved in violence, theft and many other crime types. As we enter the summer period, local officers will redouble efforts to disrupt and reduce criminality”

“If you wish to join in the hunt and help shape the activities we undertake during Op Wolf you can contact us on 101 or speak with your local policing team to raise any community matters you wish police to respond to.”
