Five men have been arrested in a series of Aberdeen police raids during a crackdown on organised crime.
Nine properties in Torry were targeted by officers who carried out drugs search warrants on Tuesday morning.
They seized more than £11,000 in cash and charged five men – aged 23, 29, 34, 35 and 38 – who will appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Wednesday.
Detective Inspector Andrew Machray said: “The operation is part of our ongoing commitment to keep drugs off the streets and to provide support to anyone who needs it.”
During the police action, social workers and housing officers also provided specialist support to vulnerable people.
‘Keeping drugs off the streets’
Det Insp Machray explained: “We work closely with partners, such as housing providers and social work, to ensure anyone affected by drugs is fully supported in taking proactive and positive steps going forward.
“Safeguarding our communities remains a priority and we hope our presence in the area provides reassurance that we take drugs crime seriously.”
Police Scotland has urged anyone who is concerned about drugs in their community to telephone 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
