Chief Inspector Gregor Forbes from Whitburn Police Station said: “Police Scotland continues to enforce a zero tolerance policy towards drug related offences and any offences reported will be dealt with as a top priority using very resource at our disposal.
“We will also work closely with our partners at the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service to stop drug dealers from benefiting from the proceeds of their criminal activity.
“Taking drugs of any nature can have a severe impact on a person’s health 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 (anonymously if required) on 0800 555 111.”
