POLICE have arrested and charged fourteen people after drugs warrants were executed across the Kingdom on the week beginning 25th June and a total amount of drugs (including cannabis, heroin and amphetamine) worth £23,000 were recovered.

One of the addresses targeted was in Crosshill.

Addresses in Erskine Wynd, Oakley; Castle Avenue, Crosshill; Westwood Avenue, Kirkcaldy; Strathmore Street, Kinghorn; Cullen Drive, Glenrothes; Carfrae Drive, Glenrothes; Broom Road, Glenrothes; Fordell Road, Glenrothes; and Lady Alice Path, Glenrothes were targeted as part of Operation Prospect, a multi-agency approach to tackle the harm caused by drugs misuse.

A further £9,950 in cash, three air weapons and ammunition were also seized.

Those arrested include two 28-year-old women, a 36-year-old woman, a 27-year-old woman and ten men aged 24, 45, 37, 49, 23, 28, 26, 48, 53 and 29 who were charged under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

They are expected to appear in court at a later date.

Detective Inspector Stewart Andrew of Fife Division Pro-Active Team said: “We have continued our positive enforcement action to arrest individuals and recover drugs and weapons from our communities over the last week.

“In doing so, we are addressing concerns expressed in the Your View Counts survey which clearly indicate that the Fife community considers the supply of illegal drugs to be damaging and unacceptable with devastating consequences for families.

“We have carried out planned and focussed activity and will continue to do so with the ongoing assistance of the public which is crucial.”
