FOUR people were arrested after police seized around £1 million of cocaine in West Lothian.
Police said warrants were executed across the region on Thursday, leading to the recovery of 21.5kg of the class A drug across Fauldhouse, West Calder, Polbeth and Livingston.
Officers also seized around £80,000.
A woman aged 54 and three men aged 29, 35 and 54 were arrested in connection with alleged drug and organised crime offences.
The woman was later released pending further inquiries. The men were charged in connection with serious and organised crime and drugs offences.
The move came as part of Operation Silhouette, led by the Police Scotland’s serious and organised crime unit, which aims to target and dismantle serious organised crime groups.
Detective Superintendent Steven Elliott said: “This is a significant seizure and continues to highlight our ongoing efforts to disrupt drug supply and protect those in our communities affected by illegal drugs.
“We work every day to protect the public to prevent drugs being circulated on our streets. This is vitally important in addressing the concerns of local people.
“Our operation underlines our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious Organised Crime Strategy.
“Information and support from the public is vital to our work and I would encourage anyone with concerns about drug activity in their area to contact us via 101.”
