Perth cocaine bust sees police seize £40,000 of Class A drugs during house raid

Police Scotland have recovered a five figure sum of Class A drugs following a raid in Perth.

Officers targeted an address in the city’s Young Street, at 9.30am last Friday.

They discovered cocaine with an estimated street value of £40,000 and a four figure sum of cash.

A 34-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with drug offences and is due to appear at Perth Sheriff Court at a later date.

A full report has been submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.

Sergeant Greg Dent, of Perth Community Investigation Unit, said: “This recovery shows that the supply of drugs will not be tolerated within our communities."

“We will continue to work to try and track down those involved in this type of behaviour.

“Officers rely on information from the public and I would ask that if anyone has any concerns surrounding drugs in your area that you get in contact with police.”

Anyone with information that may help the police should phone 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
