iStockPolice have seized cannabis worth £7m following a raid on a derelict building in Fife.
Officers raided premises at Nairn Campus on High Street, Kirkcaldy, at around 12.40pm on Wednesday.
Police discovered 5,000 cannabis plants with an estimated value of £7m, making it the largest haul of the drug in Scotland.
Sergeant Johny Lister said: “This is a very significant recovery and is an example of our efforts to disrupt the activity of illegal drugs in Scotland.
“Drugs cause misery in our communities.
“This recovery also underlines our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious Organised Crime Strategy.
“The public has an important role to play in helping Police Scotland target those responsible for the cultivation, supply and sale of illegal substances.
“Anyone with any information or concerns about drugs in their community can call Police Scotland on 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
