Detective Inspector Grant Hendry from the East Organised Crime and Counter Terrorism Unit said: "We remain committed to tackling the illegal supply of controlled drugs and ensuring these harmful substances are kept out of our communities.
"Officers will continue to target drug dealers and it was information from public that meant we were able to charge Wilcox and bring him before the courts.
"Information from members of the public is vital and we would encourage anyone with concerns about drug crime in their area to report this to us via 101, or to the charity Crimestoppers, as soon as possible."
Wilcox is due to be sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh on next month.
