A 29-year-old man has been charged after a police raid uncovered £32,000 worth of heroin and cocaine at a property in Ross and Cromarty.

Officers searched an address in Milnufua, Alness on Tuesday at 10am where they discovered the drugs as well as a “large sum of money”.

A report has been submitted to the Procurator Fiscal and the 29-year-old was expected to appear at Inverness Sheriff Court on Wednesday.

Detective inspector Andy Bilton, of CID, said: “We remain committed to disrupting county lines drug dealing activities in our Highland communities.

“We will continue to target drug dealers through local and national intelligence gathering as well as operational and enforcement activity.

“The public have a role to play in this by reporting drug misuse and associated criminality to us to that we can investigate.”

Anyone with any information regarding drug dealing or county lines activities in their area is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 or by calling Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
