Officers have recovered a quantity of cocaine and cannabis worth more than £100,000 after a vehicle was stopped in Aberdeen and a home was raided on Friday.

Police intercepted the vehicle in the Summerfield Terrace area of the city at around 1pm and a quantity of cocaine was discovered.

A warrant was then executed at an address on Eigie Walk in Balmedie, where a further quantity of cocaine and cannabis was recovered.
