DRUG SEIZURE – M74 ELVANFOOT INTERCHANGE
Police Scotland officers have seized tens of thousands of pounds worth of drugs following an intelligence-led operation in Dumfries on Tuesday 16 September 2014.
Around 1110 hours on Tuesday morning, officers stopped and searched a car on the northbound M74, near to junction 14 at Elvanfoot, Dumfries, and recovered approximately 1.5 kg of controlled drugs, believed to be heroin, and 4 kilos of what is suspected of being a mixing agent.
The estimated street value of the drugs haul is around £105,000. This has the potential to increase to £385,000 with the mixing agent.
Two men, aged 48 and 54, have been arrested in connection with the seizure.
A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
