AN 80-year-old woman has been charged as £8000 of drugs were allegedly found at an address in Fife.
Police from the Community Investigation Unit at Dunfermline raided a property and reportedly found a “significant quantity” of Class A and other drugs, a spokesman said, with a 59-year-old man also arrested and charged.
The arrests were made on July 27 as part of the ongoing Operation Prospect campaign, when officers from the Community Investigation Unit in Dunfermline executed a search warrant.
It’s alleged drugs with a street value of around £8000 were found in the search.
Inspector Stephen Kay said "Our communities have told us that tackling drug crime remains a priority, and we continue to use all resources at our disposal to disrupt the sale and supply of illicit substances.
"We will not allow people to profit from putting other's lives at risk and from causing disruption and concern to the community. We'd urge the public to continue to help us, as all the information we are given will be taken seriously."
Anyone wishing to report concerns over drugs in their area can contact their local police officers via 101, or make an anonymous report to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
