Cocaine worth £1.6m seized from Glasgow flat

Police have seized cocaine worth about £1.6m following the search of a Glasgow flat.

A 29-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman were arrested and charged in connection with drugs offences after police swooped on the city centre property about 20:00 on Tuesday.

The search of the flat, on the city's Holm Street, saw a significant quantity of cocaine recovered along with a six-figure sum of money.

Both of those arrested are to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court later.

Police Scotland Det Ch Insp Laura Sands said: "This significant recovery highlights our determination to protect the public by disrupting the trade of illegal drugs and preventing them causing harm in our communities.

"It also underlines our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country's Serious Organised Crime Strategy."

She added that anyone with information on drug crime in their area should contact the force.
