Four men have been charged after an estimated £100,000 worth of cannabis plants were discovered in a police raid.

Officers entered the premises in the Martins Lane area of Aberdeen on Thursday, at around 9.35am.

Four men, aged 36, 35, 22 and 20, were arrested and charged in connection with the recovery and are due to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Friday.

Police executing a search warrant recovered the drugs and a report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.

Sergeant Mark Rennie, of the Safer Cities Unit in Aberdeen, said: “This recovery highlights that Police Scotland is committed to tackling serious and organised crime and bringing those responsible for the manufacture and supply of illegal substances to justice.

“Drugs cause misery and support from the public is vital to assist us in keeping our communities safe and anyone with information or concerns about drugs should contact Police Scotland on 101, or make a call to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
