Two people have been arrested and charged under the Misuse of Drugs Act after police in Edinburgh recovered a quantity of controlled drugs in the North of the city.
Officers carried out an intelligence-led search of an address in Ferry Road yesterday (Tuesday) where they seized around 28grams of Diamorphine along with various items of drug paraphernalia.
A number of diazepam tablets and £910 in cash were also removed from the property.
The total value of the recovered Diamorphine is around £3,000.
A 32-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman are scheduled to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court today.
Chief Inspector Sara Buchanan, Local Area Commander for North Edinburgh said: “Whenever the public alert us to ongoing drug crime in their area we will respond appropriately to bring those responsible to justice.
“If you wish to report any criminal activity within your community then please contact your local policing team, call 101 or make an anonymous report via the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
