Officers are continuing with their investigation to identify those responsible for the possession of the drugs and other items recovered.

Constable Jordan Stevenson from the Community Investigation Unit said: “This is a significant recovery of harmful drugs, which will now be disposed of, rather than causing untold damage within our communities.

“The Community Investigation Unit and Community Action Team continue to conduct proactive enforcement activity into a range of offences affecting the communities of Midlothian and those with information relating to ongoing criminal activity can contact us via 101 or make an anonymous report to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
