A man has been arrested by cops after a whopping drugs haul worth an estimated £300,000 was seized in Edinburgh.

Officers uncovered the huge stash at a property on Caledonian Crescent in Haymarket on November 10 and confiscated cocaine, heroin and cash. According to Edinburgh Live, following a subsequent probe a 47 year-old man was then arrested on Wednesday, November 16 and will appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court at some point today.

The massive haul included, diamorphine (heroin) worth an estimated £198,000, cocaine valued at £31,800 and £67,000 in cash.

Cops say a report will now be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.

Detective Inspector Gary Reid, Specialist Crime Division said: “We work every day to disrupt those involved in drugs supply and involved in serious and organised crime as they have no place in our communities."

He added: “Anyone with information regarding drugs in their local area should contact their local police office through 101.
