Two to appear in court after cops swoop on Johnstone drug factory

Two men are due to appear in court later today after drugs squad cops shut down a suspected drug factory.

Officers seized a pill press and drug making kit during a raid in Mary Street, Johnstone on Wednesday morning.

They also recovered a quantity of etizolam tablets known as fake valium during the operation.

Two men, aged 34 and 55 have been arrested in connection with the seizure. Both men are due to appear at Paisley Sheriff Court this afternoon.

Detective Inspector John Stewart said: "Drugs are a menace and cause communities and families immeasurable harm. I want to reassure people that we will use every tool and tactic at our disposal to target those involved in this type of criminality. Drugs are a real concern but with local people’s continued support and co-operation, we can all make a difference and reduce the threat of such criminality.

Almost 800 Renfrewshire motorists nabbed without insurance  

"Those who think they can get away with peddling drugs without facing the consequence are wrong. We are and we will continue to target anyone involved in drugs and the criminality around such products.”
