Drugs with an estimated street value of around £180,000 have been recovered following the search of a vehicle on the A90 between Perth and Dundee.
In the early hours of Saturday, March 12, police officers stopped a car near Inchture and recovered a significant quantity of cannabis.
A 52-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the find.
A report has been submitted to the Procurator Fiscal and the man was due to appear at Dundee Sheriff Court on Monday, March 14.
Detective Inspector Robin Sim from the Organised Crime and Counter Terrorism Unit, said: “This is a significant recovery and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to seriously disrupt drug supply in the North East.
“But we can’t tackle this criminal behaviour alone.
“The public continue to play a vital role in assisting investigations into drug crime and I would encourage anyone who has any concerns about drug-related activity, or has any information about those involved in drugs, to contact police on 101 or make an anonymous report to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
