Three men arrested in connection with the seizure of Class A drugs in West Lothian have been charged in connection with serious and organised crime and drugs offences.
They are due to appear at Livingston Sheriff Court on Monday, 10 February, 2025.
It follows an operation on Thursday (6 February 2025) where officers seized drugs worth an estimated ONE MILLION pounds.
Warrants were executed across West Lothian resulting in four people being arrested in connection with organised crime and drugs offences.
The activity was a part of an ongoing investigation, Operation Silhouette and is led by the Serious and Organised Crime Unit to target and dismantle serious organised crime groups.
Locations visited included Fauldhouse, West Calder, Polbeth and Livingston.
Officers recovered 21.5kg of Cocaine, worth an estimated street value of £1,000,000, and seized around £80,000.
A woman aged 54 and three men aged 29, 35 and 54 were arrested. The woman was released pending further enquiries.
Detective Superintendent Steven Elliott said: “This is a significant seizure and continues to highlight our ongoing efforts to disrupt drug supply and protect those in our communities affected by illegal drugs.
“We work every day to protect the public to prevent drugs being circulated on our streets. This is vitally important in addressing the concerns of local people.
“Our operation underlines our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious Organised Crime Strategy.
“Information and support from the public is vital to our work and I would encourage anyone with concerns about drug activity in their area to contact us via 101.”
