Three people have been charged after drugs with a street value of nearly £40,000 were allegedly seized.
Roads Policing Officers stopped a vehicle just off the M8 near Livingston on Monday at around 8pm. A search of the vehicle found almost £2,000 in cash and quantities of suspected cannabis.
The driver of the car, a 37-year-old man, was arrested at the scene.
A search warrant was then conducted at an address in Drumcross Road in Bathgate where approximately £11,000 in cash was found. Alongside this, drugs, suspected to be cannabis, amphetamine and cocaine, were found.
The total value of drugs recovered has an estimated street value of £38,000.
A further two people, a 31-year-old woman and 46-year-old man, were arrested and subsequently charged from the address. All three are due to appear at Livingston Sheriff Court today.
Detective Sergeant John Irvine from Livingston CID said: “This work has resulted in a significant amount of drugs being seized which will no longer end up on our streets.
“Tackling drug crime remains a priority and anyone who has information or concerns regarding drug misuse in their area should report this to us via 101.”
