SCOTTISH police have seized cannabis plants with an estimated street value of up to £3.6 million in a raid in Greenock.
Officers, acting on warrant, searched premises on West Stewart Street on Sunday and found a large quantity of cannabis plants.
Three men aged 25, 32 and 37 years old were arrested and charged in connection with the recovery. They are expected to appear at Greenock Sheriff Court today.
A report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.
Detective inspector Gordon Smith said: “This recovery highlights our commitment to tackling Serious and Organised Crime and keeping our communities safe from the harm caused by illegal drugs.
"Support from members of the public is vital as part of our work to bring those responsible for supplying illegal substances to justice.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
