Police swoop on home and recover over £250,000 worth of drugs

Police recovered drugs worth over £250,000 when they swooped on a Motherwell home.

The recovery took place on the morning of Saturday, January 23, at a house on Dalriada Crescent.

Officers from Lanarkshire’s Divisional Alcohol and Violence Reduction Unit acting on warrant searched a property and recovered a quantity of drugs, believed to be cannabis with an estimated street value of £255,000.

No arrests have been made at this time in connection with this recovery and enquiries are continuing.

Sergeant Thomas Cairns said: “These high-value recoveries show our commitment to detecting and disrupting the supply and production of drugs in Lanarkshire. We will continue to work to disrupt supply routes and protect those in our local communities who are affected by the illicit drug trade.

“We rely on the support of the public to build intelligence on drug-related issues so that we can act on their concerns.

“I would urge anyone who is aware of any information about the supply of drugs to report the matter to officers through 101.

“Alternatively Crimestoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.”
