A woman from Liverpool is among those charged by police after drugs were recovered from a north-east home.
Officers raided a house in Fraserburgh’s Watermill Road on Monday and discovered crack cocaine with an estimated street value of £500.

They have all been charged with two counts of being concerned in the supply of drugs following the raid.
None offered any plea at the hearing, which was held in private.
They were released on bail for further examination.
