Class A drugs recovered in Gorgie

Three people have been arrested and charged after police in Edinburgh recovered Class A drugs in the west of the city.

Officers carried out a search of an address in Gorgie Road yesterday (Thursday) and seized around 600 grams of cocaine from within along with various other items that linked the occupants to serious and organised crime.

A subsequent search of another property in Gorgie Road resulted in £1,150 in cash and items associated with drug distribution being recovered from within.

Two men aged 40 and 28 and a 31-year-old woman are all scheduled to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court today (Friday).

The total value of the cocaine seized during this activity is around £29,000.
