Two arrested on alleged drugs offences after 'pre-planned operation' on Scots street

Two people have been arrested in connection with drugs offences after a 'pre-planned operation' by cops in Cardenden this morning.

Earlier we told how at least four marked police vans had been spotted on Dundonald Park in Cardenen, near Lochgelly, Fife.

Emergency services - including a National Risk Ambulance and specialist forensics officers - were sent to the scene as part of the planned operation.

At around 9am officers acting on a warrant carried out a search of the house.

A 37-year-old man and a 49-year-old woman have now been arrested and charged in connection with offences under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

A report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.

Detective Inspector Karen Muirhead of Dunfermline Police Station said: “This hopefully shows our determination to rid our local communities of drugs and the misery that they cause. We will continue to use every tool at our disposal to remove illegal drugs from our streets.

“We rely on the support of the public and I would urge anyone with information or concerns about drugs misuse to contact their local police office through 101.

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

An earlier statement from police said: "We can confirm that officers are currently carrying out a pre-planned operation at an address in Dundonald Park, Cardenden.

“Enquiries are ongoing at this time.”
