Cocaine and heroin with a street value of £85,000 have been seized in Aberdeen.

Three men have been charged after the class A drugs and a four-figure sum of money was found on Wednesday.

The drugs were seized from two vehicles on the unclassified Auchiries to Wellbank Road, near Hatton.

An 18-year-old from Birkenhead, a 19-year-old from Aberdeen and a 22-year-old from Liverpool were arrested and charged.

The three men are expected to appear at Peterhead Sheriff Court on Friday.

Detective Inspector Stewart Drummond said: "A significant quantity of drugs was recovered during this operation, which was intelligence-led and used a number of officers working in specialist roles.

"There is no doubt these illegal substances would have been destined for our local communities which meant that proactive, targeted action was crucial."

Anyone with concerns about drug activity in their area has been encouraged to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 to remain anonymous.
