Two people have been arrested and charged after police discovered a quantity of drugs estimated to be worth £70,000 in Clydebank.

Officers searched a property under warrant in Faifley on Friday morning and recovered suspected Etizolam.

Local Detective Inspector Fiona Macarthur described the recovery as 'significant'.

Police have since advised 41-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman have been arrested and charged in connection with the incident.

Police Scotland this afternoon confirmed: "Around 9.15 am on Friday, 2 April, 2021, officers, acting under warrant, searched an address in Auchencraig Road, Faifley, Clydebank, and recovered a quantity of controlled drugs, believed to be Etizolam, with an estimated street value of £70,000.

"Two people, a 41-year-old man and a woman aged 40 years, have been arrested and charged in connection with the incident. They are due to appear at Dumbarton Sheriff Court on Saturday, 3 April, 2021. A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal."

Detective Inspector Fiona Macarthur, from Argyll & Bute and West Dunbartonshire Serious and Organised Crime Team, commented: “This recovery is a significant one and will have an impact on those who peddle drugs in our local communities.

"Officers will continue to detect and disrupt the supply and production of drugs and protect those who are affected by this illegal trade.

"We depend on the continued support of our local communities and would encourage anyone with concerns about drugs in their area to call Police Scotland via 101 or alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
