More than £1 million worth of cocaine has allegedly been recovered following a police raid.

The discovery was made during a search of a property on Gartmill Crescent in Moodiesburn, North Lanarkshire, as part of a major police operation on Tuesday, July 21.

Police claim they recovered cocaine with an estimated street value of around £1.68 million.

A 34-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the alleged recovery.

Detective Sergeant Lee Graham said: "This recovery highlights our commitment to tackling dangerous and illegal drugs in our local communities.

"Drugs cause misery in our communities and we are determined to protect the public by preventing their distribution.

"Information from the public is vital and we would urge anyone with concerns to contact us."

The man was due to appear in Airdrie Sheriff Court yesterday.
