Man charged after drugs haul worth £25,000 found in East Ayrshire raid

A 22-year-old man has been charged after drugs were seized in East Ayrshire.

Cops raided a property in Cumnock and discovered a stash of suspected Class A and Class B drugs worth an estimated £25,000.

A significant amount of cash was also found by specialist officers who stormed the property in the town's Davaar Avenue on Wednesday having secured a warrant.

A 22-year-old man has been charged in connection with being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs.

He is due to appear at Ayr Sheriff Court at a later date.

DI Ross Black of Ayrshire CID said, "Local people have consistently told us that drug dealing and misuse is a major concern to them – and support from members of the public is vital to our work.

"I would like to thank our community for their continued support in tackling these issues and encourage anyone with information regarding drug dealing or suspicious activity to please contact us.

"Police Scotland and the locality policing teams can be contacted on 101 or in an emergency 999. Information can also be provided via the independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111 where anonymity can be maintained."
