£1.6 million worth of drugs seized by police in Scottish town

DRUGS worth around £1.6 million have been seized by police from a property in Falkirk

Police raided a property at Abbots Road at around 3pm on Sunday, where a cannabis cultivation of 2500 plants with an estimated value of £1.6m was recovered.

The force said that extensive enquiries to trace those involved are ongoing.

Detective Inspector John Currie, Forth Valley CID, said: “This recovery underlines our ongoing commitment to tackling serious organised crime through the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious Organised Crime Strategy.

“We will continue to act on intelligence and use all available resources at our disposal to disrupt the production and supply of controlled drugs.

“Anyone with information or concerns about drugs in their area can call Police Scotland on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
