Around 1045 hours on Friday 12 August 2016, officers acting under warrant, searched a flat in Easterhill Place, Tollcross, Glasgow and discovered a quantity of drugs.

Officers seized approximately 5 kilos of what’s believed to be cocaine, more than 300 grams of what’s believed to be Heroin and 30 kilos of a mixing agent, Benzocaine.

Detective Inspector Jim Biggam said:

“This operation demonstrates our determination to rid our streets of drugs and serious and organised crime. Through effective intelligence gathering, help and support from the local community we can cause considerable disruption to the supply of drugs.
