Heroin, cocaine and thousands of pounds found in Dundee drug raids

Class A drugs and thousands of pounds have been seized by police after a series of raids in Dundee.

The searches took places at properties across the City of Discovery on Tuesday 30th July as part of Operation Slate.

It’s aimed at reducing drug-related crime.

Officers discovered cocaine, heroin, cannabis and approximately £9,000 at addresses in the St Mary’s, Fintry, Maryfield, Woodside and Hilltown areas.

Two people were arrested, but have since been released pending further enquiries.

Further enquiries regarding each address are ongoing.

Superintendent Graeme Murdoch of Tayside Police said: “We are more and more aware through enforcement and through intelligence that groups from elsewhere in the UK are operating in Tayside, selling drugs and exploiting already vulnerable people.

“This type of activity brings violence and intimidation with it and these individuals have absolutely no conscience about the harm they are doing in our local communities.

“We have no intention of accepting it, nor should the residents of Tayside. We will continue to use enforcement and the resources at our disposal to take these people off the streets and to make Tayside an uncomfortable place for them to be.”

"If you have any information or if you know of an address that is being used in this way, tell us."
