Police have charged a 46-year-old man following the recovery of Class B drugs in Danderhall.
Acting on intelligence, officers attended an address in Newton Church Road on Thursday 7 January.
A quantity of herbal cannabis, with a maximum street value of £20,000, was subsequently recovered from within. A three-figure sum of cash was also seized.
A report has been submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.

“We are committed to acting on information we receive from the public, and would urge anyone with concerns about drug crime in their area to contact Police Scotland on 101 or make an anonymously report to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
