Man charged following Harray drug seizure

Police have seized a five-figure sum of drugs following a proactive operation in the Harray area.

Around 2.25pm on Thursday, December 23, a warrant was executed at a property on Grimeston Road. A quantity of cocaine was recovered, with an estimated total street value of over £19,000.

A 23-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the recovery. He has been released on undertaking to appear in court at a later date.

Detective Sergeant Marcus Shearer, of Kirkwall CID, said: “Drug misuse brings nothing but misery to our communities and I want to reassure the public that we will continue to use every tool and tactic at our disposal to remove these illegal substances from our streets.

“Our work often relies on the support of the public, so if you have any information or concerns about drug misuse, do not hesitate to contact Police Scotland on 101 or report this anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
