Police have found an air rifle, tablets and powder during a raid on a home in Dunfermline.

A team of up to 20 officers targeted the property on Tern Road, on a housing estate in the Duloch area of the city, just after 9am on Tuesday.

Officers wearing protective gear entered the house.

It is understood there were at least two occupants inside at the time.

The raid was part of an investigation into the alleged supply of class A drugs.

The Courier was given exclusive access to the raid.

Reporter Neil Henderson, who was at the scene, said: “A convoy of four police vehicles left Dunfermline station just after 9am heading to a target address in Duloch.

“Arriving at the home, officers wearing protective armour immediately approached the front door before entering the property.

“Simultaneously. uniformed officers surrounded the house with more breaking through a gated passageway to secure the rear of the house.

In an update later on Tuesday, a Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 9.20am on Tuesday, officers acting under warrant searched a property on Tern Road, Dunfermline and recovered a quantity of powder and tablets.

“The items will be sent to the lab for further analysis.
