Three men have been arrested and drugs worth more than £40,000 seized in a series of police raids.

Officers searched a man in Hill Place, Edinburgh, on Tuesday following a tip-off and discovered more than £1,100 in cash and a small amount of herbal cannabis.

A search warrant was then executed in Hyvot Bank Avenue, where crack cocaine, heroin and cocaine with an estimated street value of £41,500 was found.

Three men - aged 40, 33 and 25 - have been charged in connection with the finds and are expected to appear in court later.

Inspector David Robertson said: "Our communities have told us that tackling the supply and use of drugs is a priority to them, and therefore it remains a priority to us.

"Dedicated officers continue to work daily to disrupt the drugs trade and address any related criminality, such as anti-social behaviour, which can have a huge impact on local residents and businesses.

"Since last summer, in the city centre alone, we've searched over 30 properties, recovered over £130,000 worth of drugs and seized almost £30,000 in cash.

"Support from our communities continues to be vital to the success of Operation Eagle and I want to reassure the public that we will continue to act on all the information we receive.

"If you have concerns about drug crime in your community, information can be provided to Police Scotland via 101 or reported anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
