Two men are due in court today (Tuesday, 25 May) in connection with a drug recovery in Shetland.

Due to their concerns, officers in the Sandveien area of Lerwick approached a van around 12.45pm on Monday, 24 May.

Heroin with an estimated street value of £135,000 was seized nearby.

Two men, aged 46 and 47, have been arrested and charged in connection with this and are expected to appear at Lerwick Sheriff Court.

“This was a significant recovery of Class A drugs, especially for Shetland.

“I want to assure people that we are committed to tackling the sale and supply of drugs in our communities.”
