Four men have been charged after £2.25 million worth of cannabis was found in Dundee.

Police carried out searches at properties on Lorne Street, in the Lochee area, and Ash Street – just off Lochee Road – on Monday.

About 3,000 cannabis plants were found across the two sites – with an estimated street value of more than £2.25m.
