Sergeant Ally Goldie from Alloa's Community Policing Team said: "This operation was possible due to information received from local residents. We always act on the information from the public, and on this occasion, we received sufficient evidence for the Sheriff to grant a warrant.

"The recovery of such an amount of drugs and cash has gone a long way to protecting the local community.”
