On Thursday, officers executed a warrant at a property on Albert Street where a large quantity of cannabis was recovered.
A 24-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with the recovery.
He is due to appear at Dundee Sheriff Court on Friday.

“It highlights our ongoing commitment to protecting the public from the harm caused by this type of criminality.
“Those involved in the illegal drugs trade in Scotland should be in no doubt that our work to disrupt and make arrests is continuing.
“This seizure also clearly underlines our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious Organised Crime Strategy.

“Anyone with information or concerns about drugs is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 or make a call anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
