A SERIES of drugs raids in Elgin on Saturday have recovered more than £3000 of heroin.

Search warrants were used at properties in Meadow Crescent, Ernest Hamilton Court and Thornhill Road.

A 39 year-old woman has been charged and is anticipated to appear at Elgin Sheriff Court today.

Two men, aged 39 and 56, were also charged but are expected to appear at a later date.

Detective Constable John Riddell said: "There will be no let up from Police Scotland in our efforts to target the illegal supply of drugs.

"This latest recovery means a significant quantity of drugs has been removed from Moray communities where it could cause serious harm.

"We are grateful for the support we receive from our communities and continue to urge members of the public to contact us with any concerns they have."

Ring 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 to remain anonymous.
