Man due in court following drugs seizure in Cakemuir Gardens

A 38-year-old man has been arrested after police officers executed a warrant in Cakemuir Gardens yesterday and seized approximately £44,000 worth of heroin, cannabis and crack cocaine along with a large sum of money.

The man has been charged and is due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court today.

Local Area Commander, Chief Inspector Kevin McLean said: “Yesterday’s warrant and drugs recovery continues the good work of Operation Eagle, which has now seen over £300,000 of illicit substances seized by local officers.

“The misuse and supply of drugs has a huge impact on our communities, and we couldn’t achieve this without their support and the information they provide. Anyone with information about such activity in their area should contact police on 101 or the charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
