Four people have been arrested following a drugs bust in Buckhaven, Fife.
Three men – aged 24, 30 and 50 – and a 61-year-old were taken into custody after police raided two homes on West High Street at around 9:30am this morning.
Locals spotted at least five police vehicles and an ambulance as forensics officers descended on the properties.
One neighbour told The Courier: “Out of nowhere arrived five or six police vans as well as a number of unmarked police cars arrived just after 9am.
“They parked across the road, blocking the area off.
“Then officers put tape across the street.
“I also saw an ambulance turn up a short time later.
“Both uniformed and plain-clothes officers were going in and out of the house.
Police spotted ‘wearing respirators’ in drugs bust
“Then the forensics team in white suits and masks went inside.
“They have been entering and leaving all morning.
“Several of them were wearing respirators.”
Another resident said: “I saw them coming out the police station earlier.
“There were five police vans, an ambulance and five CID cars and they’ve blocked West High Street.
“It looks like they were preparing for something nasty.
“There are eight or nine people in white suits and it looks like they’re up in the loft as well.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 9.30am on Monday officers executed drug warrants at two properties in the West High Street area of Buckhaven.
“Three men, aged 24, 30 and 50, and one woman aged 61, have been arrested and inquiries are ongoing.”
