Four in court on drugs charges after police operation

Four men appeared before a sheriff accused of drugs offences.

Scott Allan, 36, Andrew Paterson, 30, and John Paterson, 24, all from Kirkcaldy, appeared in private at the town’s sheriff court alongside Gary Paterson, 42, from Peterhead.

All were charged with offences under the misuse of drugs act 1971 and Allan was also accused of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

None of the four made any plea or declaration and were committed for further examination.

They were released on bail.

All are due to appear again next week.

Their appearances follow a major police operation in Kirkcaldy on Saturday.
