£3000 haul of valium and cocaine seized by police in Kirkcaldy raid

Officers executed a warrant in Links Street last week, and also recover a substantial sum of cash.

It was the second drugs raid in the town in a week. Last Saturday, in a separate operation, two men were charged after police seized cocaine, cannabis and amphetamine and £2500 in cash in the Gallatown area. The drugs had a street value of £1500.

The Links Street raid happened on Thursday, and Police Scotland confirmed they recovered a quantity of controlled drugs, including Valium and Cocaine, with an estimated street value of £3000 and a four-figure sum of cash was recovered by officers.

Two men, aged 18 and 44, and an 18-year-old woman were arrested and charged in connection with drugs offences. They are subject of reports to the Procurator Fiscal.
