Police Scotland are appealing for information after two men fled the scene during a bust where thousands of pounds worth of drugs were seized in Fife.

A six-figure sum of drugs was recovered during a routine stop in Kirkcaldy on 26 May during a police patrol.

Fife Road Policing officers pulled over a black Vauxhall Insignia vehicle on Strathkinnes Road and following a search, recovered cannabis with an estimated street value of £150,000.

Two men described as being "mid-20s to mid 30s and of Eastern European descent" fled the scene.

One of the men was wearing all black, while the other suspect was wearing a grey top with a high visibility vest over the top.
