Sergeant Kenny Bow from the Cowdenbeath Community Investigation Unit said: “This successful intervention came as a result of intelligence gathered within the community and once again demonstrates our commitment to acting on any and all information from the public to tackle drug crime and associated offences.

“During this activity, we have removed a significant amount of cannabis that was intended for distribution on our streets and as a result we have undoubtedly impacted on the local criminals looking to sell these drugs on for profit.

“I would like to thank the people of Cowdenbeath for their assistance and would ask anyone with information relating to drug crime to contact us on 101 or make an anonymous report to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
