Over £200k of cannabis seized by cops during drug busts in Glasgow

Police seized over £200,000 worth of cannabis during a pair of drug busts in Glasgow yesterday.

The first came at a property on Abbey Drive in Jordanhill when cops acting on intelligence executed a warrant and found the Class B drugs with an estimated street value of £114,000, along with a five-figure sum of cash.

A 40-year-old man has been charged in connection with drug offences and is due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court today (Friday, August 27).

In a second, unconnected incident, officers stopped a man on Craighall Road near Possilpark at around 9.45pm last night and recovered cannabis from his possession.

An address on the same street was then searched and a further amount of the Class B drug was seized. In total the drugs found had an estimated street value of £91,000.

A 29-year-old man has been charged in connection with the second incident and is also due to appear in Glasgow Sheriff Court today.

Detective Inspector Craig McPhail said: "This work outlines our continued commitment to tackle drug offences in Glasgow and I would like to thank the public for their support in this.

"We will continue to work hard to disrupt and deter the illegal sale and supply of drugs in Scotland.

"Anyone who has information about drug crime should report concerns to us via 101 so that we can investigate and take appropriate action."
