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.
