Police have seized drugs worth about £150,000 at a Scottish port.

Officers from Police Scotland found 15kg of cannabis while searching a vehicle at Loch Ryan Port in Cairnryan, Dumfries and Galloway, at about 10.30pm on Sunday.

Police Scotland said a 25-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the seizure and is expected to appear at Stranraer Sheriff Court in due course.

Detective Inspector Gary Ferguson said: “Those who attempt to introduce drugs into our communities for personal gain should be in no doubt that we will use every possible resource to disrupt this activity.

“This seizure reinforces our ongoing commitment to the Serious and Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s serious and organised crime strategy.

“Information from the public is vital to our efforts, and I would encourage anyone concerned about drugs-related activity to contact Police Scotland on 101.

“Alternatively, you can report anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
