Broch Councillor Hails Drugs Operation

Fraserburgh SNP councillor Brian Topping has hailed the success of an intelligence-led operation into the supply of controlled drugs in the locality resulting in Grampian Police recovering cocaine with an approximate street value in excess of £7000. 

 

Officers from Divisional CID and Local Policing Teams carried out the enforcement which resulted in dealer quantities of the drug being recovered.  Officers also confirmed that referrals had been made to the Community Substance Misuse Service.

 

The raids continue as part of a unique collaborative approach to tackle illegal drugs and substance misuse in Aberdeenshire, bringing together Grampian Police, Aberdeenshire Council and NHS Grampian.  A 21 year old male from the West Midlands area will be appearing at Peterhead Sheriff Court regarding drug offences.

Commenting, founder and former chairman of Fraserburgh & District Community Safety Group Councillor Brian Topping said:

“Grampian Police and their partner agencies are to be congratulated on this successful operation resulting in the recovery of drugs which might otherwise have been destined for the streets of the North-east.

“I am delighted that an individual has been apprehended in this regard and this sends a strong message to those in the West Midlands who have been targeting the North-east of Scotland.”
