Cops have found 'drugs and a number of firearms' during a raid at a Glasgow property.

Officers say they discovered drugs with an estimated street value of around £60,000 while searching an address on Harefield Drive in the city's Scotstounhill.

The raid was carried out at the property at around 8am on Sunday, August 25.

The force allegedly recovered around 750g of cocaine and 9.7kg of herbal cannabis.

Meanwhile, cops say they also seized a number of firearms and ammunition.

A 29-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with alleged various offences.

He was due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court today (Monday, August 26, 2024).

Detective Chief Inspector David Lamont said: “This is a significant recovery and is an example of our efforts to disrupt the trade in illegal drugs in Scotland.

“It also underlines our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious Organised Crime Strategy.

“We would continue to urge anyone with information or concerns about drugs and firearms activity in their area to contact Police Scotland on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
