Drug squad cops seized thousands of pounds of drugs during two early morning raids in Paisley.
Officers from the force’s Alcohol and Violence Reduction Unit, alongside the community policing team, swooped in on two addresses in Paisley town centre and Glenburn on Thursday morning.
They carried out an extensive search of both properties where they uncovered quantities white and brown powder believed to be heroin and cocaine.
The drugs recovered have been sent away for testing and are understood to have a street total street value of £4,700 - the heroin has been valued at £3,500 and the cocaine at £1,200.
