Man charged after huge £130k cannabis bust in Scots village

A man has been charged after a drugs bust worth £130,000 in West Lothian.

Police carried out a search warrant at an address in the Moorelands area of Addiewell on May 25.

Officers at the property found 'herbal cannabis ' with an estimated street value of £130,000.

On Friday it was revealed that a 32-year-old man had been charged in connection with the drugs haul.

A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.

Police stressed that they rely on help from members of the public when it comes to nailing those involved in illegal substances.

Anyone with 'concerns about drug supply and misuse' is being urged to come forward.

Detective Sergeant John Murphy said: “This cultivation was found as a result of proactive work by officers who remain committed to targeting the misuse of drugs and associated criminality in our local communities.

“We rely on information from the public to help us do this and ask anyone with concerns about drug supply or misuse in your area to report this to us so we can investigate appropriately.

"Those with information can report this to Police Scotland on 101, or in an emergency always dial 999."
