Cops find £400k cannabis haul after pulling cars and van over on M74

Cops found £400,000 of cannabis after stopping a van and two cars around the M74 in Glasgow yesterday.

The huge haul was discovered after police stopped the two cars on the M74 near to junction 5 and the van in the Mount Vernon area of the city.

Three men were arrested after a search uncovered the herbal cannabis which is estimated to be worth £400,000 on the streets.

The stops at around 4.10pm came after a tip off.

Two men, aged 39 and 32, have been charged in connection with drugs offences.

The 39-year-old will appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Friday, 21 May and the 32-year-old at a later date.

A third arrested man, aged 33, will be reported for road traffic offences.

Detective Superintendent Craig Willison said: “This coordinated stop involved a number of officers who have prevented this significant amount of drugs being brought into our local communities.

“We will continue to work hard to disrupt and deter the illegal sale and supply of drugs in Scotland. Anyone who has information about drug crime should report concerns to us via 101 so that we can investigate and take appropriate action."
