Four men have appeared in court following the discovery of £450,000 worth of drugs in Aberdeen.
Steven Clark, 40, Sean Imlach, 52, Paul Tattersal, 47, and Tarlochan Masana, 41, have all been hit with drugs charges after cops seized the six-figure cannabis haul at an East Tullos Industrial Estate over the weekend.
Imlach is facing three charges of producing a controlled drug with intent to supply, while Clark faces two charges related to the same offences.
Tattersal also faces two charges of production and supply of a controlled drug.
Masana has been charged with one count of intent to supply cannabis.
Police carried out early morning raid
Following an extensive search of the premises, officers recovered a large quantity of cannabis.
Officers estimated the drugs to have a street value of £450,000. A five-figure sum of cash was also recovered.
All four men made no plea when they appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court.
Masana, whose address was given as Warley, West Midlands, is the only man not from Aberdeen.
Clark was remanded in custody, while the other three were released on bail.
‘This was significant recovery’
Following the drug discovery, Detective Inspector Robin Sim said: “This was significant recovery and as a result, we have taken an estimate of £450,000 worth of drugs off the streets.
