Police Scotland have arrested two people after almost £200,000 worth of Class A and B drugs were seized in Fife.
Acting on intelligence, local officers and specialist resources stopped a Renault Megane travelling eastbound on the A92 near the Kirkcaldy West junction around 5.20pm on Thursday 3rd May.
Around 10,000 ecstasy tablets and a quantity of MDMA crystals with a combined estimated street value of £135,000 were seized.
This led to search warrants being executed at properties in the Saunders Street and Glamis Road areas of Kirkcaldy.
An estimated £62,000 worth of cocaine and amphetamine and over £2,000 in cash were recovered.
A 28-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man were subsequently charged and are expected to appear at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court on Friday 4th May.
Detective Inspector Grant Sangster of the East’s Organised Crime and Counter Terrorism Unit said: “We are absolutely committed to disrupting the sale and supply of illicit substances.
“Those involved in the drugs trade are attempting to profit by putting people’s lives at risk, with this money also used to fund other forms of organised crime.
“All information received from the public will be assessed and acted upon appropriately and I would continue to urge people to tell us their concerns.
“Information can be passed to Police Scotland on 101, or reported anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 at any time.”
