Three due in court following drugs seizures in North Edinburgh

Three people have been arrested and charged under the Misuse of Drugs Act after police in North Edinburgh recovered various drugs from three separate properties.

Officers carried out searches at the addresses in Muirhouse Grove and recovered quantities of diamorphine, diazepam and cannabis with a combined total of around £3,000.

Two men aged 35 and 40 and a 33-year-old woman will appear in court at a later date.

Detective Inspector Stuart Harkness said ‘Drug dealing within our communities will not be tolerated and I would appeal to those with information around the supply of drugs in their community or other matters of serious and organised criminality to get in touch with us.

“It is through the public’s help that we are able to carry out activity like this and remove harmful substances before they can do untold damage to our communities.”

Anyone with information can contact Police Scotland on ‘101’, speak to their local officer or contact the registered charity Crimestoppers in anonymity on 0800555111.
