£1.5 million worth of drugs were found after searching a nightclub in Peterhead yesterday.
Two men aged 25 and 26 have been arrested on drug offences after police found a “large” cannabis cultivation in the closed Deja Vu nightclub around 12.30pm.
Iraldo Sarasellil, 25, and Ronaldo Abazi, 26, appeared in private at Peterhead Sheriff Court facing drugs charges and an allegation of breaching the Electricity Act.
They made no plea and were remanded in custody.
Detective Inspector Rory Campbell, of Police Scotland, said: “Drugs cause misery in our communities and we will use all resources at our disposal to disrupt the drugs trade in Scotland.
“Information provided by the public is vital in helping us continue to do this.
“This significant recovery underlines our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious Organised Crime Strategy.
“We would continue to urge anyone with information or concerns about drugs activity in their area to contact Police Scotland on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
