Two women have been arrested after £52,000 worth of cocaine and heroin was seized from a car in Aberdeenshire.

The Class A drugs were recovered from the vehicle after it was stopped by police on the A96 near Inverurie at around 6.30pm on Monday.

Two women, aged 26 and 52, from the Moray area, were arrested in connection with the incident and will appear in court at a later date.

A report has been submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.

Detective constable Kim Duncan said: "Thankfully a significant amount of illegal drugs have been removed as a result of this action.

"Tackling the misuse of drugs in the North East cannot happen without the support and intelligence from the public and I would urge you to continue letting us know your concerns."
