Drugs with a potential street value of at least £900,000 have been recovered following the execution of two warrants in the Knightswood area of Glasgow.

Acting on intelligence, officers attended at adjoining properties on Glendinning Road around 7am on Friday, 23 February, 2024.

No one was arrested. Enquiries are continuing and officers are following a positive line of enquiry.
