UP to £250,000 has been seized after police pulled a car over.

Officers stopped the vehicle on King Street, Stenhousemuir, at around 5pm yesterday.

Five warrants were subsequently executed, and properties in Bonnybridge, Denny and Bainsford were searched.

An estimated £200,000 to £250,000 was recovered.

Two men, aged 25 and 34, and a 24-year-old woman are due to appear at Falkirk Sheriff Court on Friday.

Detective Inspector Norrie Petrie from Falkirk CID said: “Operations such as this disrupt criminal activity as well as addressing the concerns raised by local people.

“Crime has a detrimental impact on local areas and I would like to reassure people that we will continue with these proactive operations, demonstrating our commitment to ridding communities of crime and its associated impact.”
