Cops seize over £6,000 worth of cocaine and 'large quantity' of cannabis during Irvine drug raid

Over £6,000 worth of cocaine was seized during a drug bust in Irvine alongside a "large quantity" of cannabis.

Officers from Ayrshire’s CID Proactive Crime Team were executing a warrant at a property in Watson Terrace on April 8 when they discovered the drugs.

The class A drug seized by cops was worth £6,500 and a large quantity of cannabis was also discovered at the home.

A 33-year-old man was arrested and taken to Saltcoats Police Office following the drug raid.

He is expected to appear at court at a later date and a report will be subject to a report to the Procurator Fiscal.

Inspector Andy Dolan, Locality Inspector at Irvine Police Office said: “Drugs and the people who supply them have no place in our communities and officer work every day to gather intelligence to tackle this type of criminality.

“Support from members of the public is absolutely vital to our work and this demonstrates our team’s commitment to acting on the information we receive.

"We will continue to focus on tackling drugs, and drug related crime, across North Ayrshire.”

Anyone with information regarding drugs activity in their area can contact their local policing team by calling 101.
