People in Dingwall have been asked to pass on information they have about drug dealing in their area to the police.
After a search warrant was executed by officers on Thursday in Dingwall, the area inspector has asked people to “get in touch” with concerns and information.
Area Inspector Kay Macrae said that there were a number of ways to get in touch with police, including using the 101 number.
During the execution of the warrant, items relating to the supply of drugs were seized and inquiries are continuing, a police spokesman said.
Area Inspector Kay Macrae, based at Dingwall, said : “We continue to work with our partners and communities in relation to drug related criminality.
“I would encourage members of our communities to get in touch with their concerns.”

This week community councillors in Oban complained that using the 101 number was delaying local officers picking up drug dealers, due to call handlers’ lack of knowledge of the town’s geography.
