A MAN has been arrested after police seized drugs believed to be worth up to £360,000 from a Scottish town.
Officers made a “significant recovery” of cocaine when police with a search warrant raided a property in Owen Avenue, East Kilbride, on Wednesday, July 23.
Police Scotland said they recovered approximately 12kg of the drug, with a street value of up to £360,000.
A 34-year-old man has been arrested and charged, the force added.
Detective Inspector Kevin Hughes said: “This is a significant recovery and demonstrates our continued commitment to disrupting the supply and distribution of illegal drugs in our communities.
“We are dedicated to the country’s Serious and Organised Crime Strategy and work closely with partners as part of the Serious and Organised [[Crime]] Taskforce to identify and target those involved in this type of criminality.
