MORE than £14,000 of drugs have been recovered after a vehicle was stopped in Fife.
Officers stopped and searched the vehicle on Whimbrel Place in Dunfermline on Saturday (March 2).
Quantities of the Class A drugs, cocaine and LSD, with an estimated street value of over £10,000 were recovered from the vehicle.
Class B drugs ketamine and cannabis, worth up to £ 4,400 were also recovered, along with over £800 in cash.
Two 17-year-olds, a boy and a girl, and a 19-year-old man were arrested and charged in connection with the recovery.
They will appear at Dunfermline Sheriff Court at a later date and a report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.
Sergeant Fraser Simpson, of Dunfermline Community Team, said: “We are dedicated to disrupting the trade in illegal drugs which brings nothing but harm to our communities here in Fife.
“This activity highlights our continued commitment to our communities locally and more widely the country’s Serious Organised Crime Strategy.
“Community intelligence is the lifeblood of operations such as this and I would urge anyone with concerns or information about drugs to call us on 101, or to contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
