A man has been arrested after police found £10k worth of cannabis after stopping a car on the A74.
Officers pulled the vehicle over on the northbound carriageway near to Moffat yesterday.
They then discovered one kilogram of drugs with an estimated street value of £10,000 and a four-figure sum of cash.
A 33-year-old man was arrested in connection.
Chief Inspector Darren Faulds, of Police Scotland’s Road Policing Unit, said: “As a result of a proactive stop of a vehicle on the motorway network, a quantity of drugs has been removed from circulation.
“A 33-year-old man has been charged in connection with the incident and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
“Removing illegal substances from our communities remains a priority for officers and I would encourage anyone with information about drug crime in their area to report this to police so that we can investigate thoroughly.”
