A quarter of a million pounds worth of cannabis was found by cops after stopping a car on a Scots motorway.
Police discovered the massive 25kg haul of the class B during a stop yesterday on the M74 outside Lockerbie.
Two men have now been charged in connection with drug offences and were expected to appear in court today.
A statement from Polic Scotland read: "Officers from Dumfries Road Policing Unit stopped a Toyota Corolla on the M74 northbound, at junction 18 near Lockerbie, around 11.45am yesterday.
"After a search, 25kg with an estimated street value of £250,000 was recovered.
