Major drugs bust in Alloa

Police have seized drugs worth £640,000 after a raid in Alloa.

Officers raided a property on Church Street on Tuesday afternoon.

A "large scale" cannabis cultivation was found.

Enquiries are ongoing.

Detective Inspector John Currie said: “This recovery means a significant quantity of drugs will not end up on our streets.

“Drugs cause misery in our communities, and we are determined to disrupt the supply of illegal substances and trace those involved.

“This recovery underlines our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country's Serious Organised Crime Strategy.

“In addition to the contributing to the illegal trade of drugs, these cultivations pose a serious fire risk and anyone with suspicions that a premises is being used as a cultivation is urged to contact us.

“Information from the public is absolutely crucial to our work and we urge anyone with knowledge or concerns about drugs activity in their area to contact Police Scotland on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
