Huge drugs bust sees 18-year-old arrested in Lanarkshire

A man has been arrested after being found with huge quantities of drugs in Rutherglen.

Cops swooped on a property on Toryglen Road in the town last night (August 3) after an intelligence-led operation.

That led them to seizing large quantities of heroin, herbal cannabis, cocaine and 8500 etizolam tablets.

Specialist cops estimate the total value of the drugs was around £81,000.

DI Laura Sands told Lanarkshire Live : “We have taken a significant amount of drugs off the street during this operation.

“Drugs can have a devastating impact on communities and we would continue to encourage members of the public to support our efforts to tackle this issue.

An 18-year-old man has been arrested and charged with alleged drug offences.

He has been released on licence and is expected to appear in court at a later date.

Anyone with any information in relation to any drugs activity should call police on 101.

Information can also be left anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
