Police have charged a 22-year-old man following the recovery of Class A and Class B drugs from within a property in Livingston.

Officers from the Pro-Active Unit searched an address in Muirfield Way and recovered 30 grams of Cocaine and 110 grams of cannabis with an approximate street value of £2300.

Various drugs paraphernalia and mobile phones were also removed from the property along with over 50 pills, which have been sent for analysis.

The 22-year old is scheduled to appear at Livingston Sheriff Court today.

Inspector Scott Robertson from Broxburn Police Station said:”Police Scotland has a zero tolerance policy towards drug related offences and we will continue to deal with any offences reported to the police as a top priority using every resource at our disposal.

“Taking drugs of any nature can have a severe impact and it’s impossible to know the type or purity of the substance being consumed and I would urge people to think carefully before taking anything that they are unsure about.

“The public can assist greatly in helping police tackle drug related offences and I would urge anyone with information on drug offences in their area to come forward to police or contact the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
