Cops seize £125,000 cannabis plant haul in East Lothian

A man has been arrested and charged after police seized £125,000 of cannabis plants from East Lothian.

The division's Community Action Team raided a property on Edinburgh Road, in Tranent on Wednesday, July 22.

Officers from Police Scotland found a large amount of cannabis plants inside the house.

The estimated street value of the haul is £125,000.

The man is due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court today.
A full report has been forwarded to the Procurator Fiscal.

Police are urging anyone with information on drug-related issues to come forward.

Sergeant Dougie Wardell said: “This was a significant recovery and we will continue to disrupt those involved in the supply of drugs in East Lothian and work to track down those involved in this type of behaviour, and take the appropriate action.

“This was an intelligence-led operation and we rely on the support of the public on drugs-related issues.

"Information passed to police helps us gather intelligence that we can then act on.

“I would urge anyone with information about drugs in their local area to contact their local police office through 101, or alternatively Crimestoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.”
