A 33-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with the operation and is due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Friday.

Detective Sergeant Ryan Gilhooly said: “Through enforcement we actively target those involved in serious and organised crime, including those concerned with the supply of drugs on our streets.

“With this recent enforcement activity we have delivered a significant blow to the capabilities of drug dealers who continue their illegal activities by seizing both money and controlled drugs.”
