1m nose candy recovery after raids in Perthshire and Fife

Drugs worth almost £1m have been recovered by filth after officers stopped a car in Perthshire.

Detectives said 3kg (6.6lb) of nose candy was found in the vehicle in Abernethy at about 15:00 on Wednesday.

A subsequent search of a property in Morar Street in Methil, Fife uncovered a further 6kg (13.2lb) of the Class A drug.

A man and bird, aged 36 and 34, have been nicked and charged in connection with the recovery.

Chief Insp Jamie Allan said: “This is a significant recovery which sends a message that the sale and supply of dodgy gear, which cause harm and misery in our communities, will not be tolerated.

“Serious and organised crime has no place in our society, and we will continue to disrupt activities while working with partner agencies to make our communities safer.”
