£35k of heroin found during police raid
POLICE have recovered £35,000 worth of heroin during a raid in Hawick.
A 29-year-old man was charged following the bust at McLaren Court on Tuesday - and he is expected to appear in court at some point today.
Detective Sergeant Barry Roebuck of Galashiels CID said: "Tackling drug crime is a priority for the local community, and therefore it remains a priority for us.
"Any information or intelligence we receive to suggest that someone may be involved in distributing these harmful and illegal substances will be fully investigated.
"Those with concerns or information about drug crime are urged to report these to Police Scotland on 101, or anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
