Three individuals have been charged after significant amounts of cocaine were seized during raids in Bellshill.
Officers from the Organised Crime Partnership executed search warrants at two properties on Babylon Road and Liberty Road yesterday, uncovering drugs with a street value of nearly £115,000.
In addition to the cocaine, police found cash at the Liberty Road address.
A 34-year-old man faces charges related to serious and organised crime and drugs offences.
A 34-year-old woman faces charges related to serious and organised crime and proceeds of crime offences, and a 59-year-old man was also charged in connection with drug offences.
All three suspects are expected to appear at Hamilton Sheriff Court on 2nd November 2026.
Detective Inspector Thomas Carey said: “This is a significant recovery which sends a strong message that the sale and supply of illegal drugs, which cause harm and misery in our communities, will not be tolerated.
“It also highlights Police Scotland’s commitment to the Serious and Organised Crime Taskforce and its national strategy.
“Serious and organised crime has no place in our society, and we will continue to disrupt activities while working with partner agencies to make our communities safer.
“Anyone with concerns or information about drugs activity or serious organised crime in their area is urged to contact us or Crimestoppers, where anonymity can be maintained.”
