Two men have been charged after police recovered crack cocaine worth almost £3,500 and heroin worth £750 at a search at a home in Eskside West, Musselburgh yesterday.

Other items associated with drugs were also found within the property.

The men, aged 61 and 39, are due to appear in court at a later date, charged under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

Det Sgt Cameron Walker, of Police Scotland, said: “These harmful class A substances have been seized as a result of information provided to us by the public.

“We are extremely thankful for the continued support of our communities in helping us tackle drug crime.”
