On Friday, 10 October, 2025, officers acting under warrant, entered a property in the Newbattle area and seized a significant quantity of drugs and stolen vehicles.
This follows yesterday’s operation in Sherwood Industrial Estate in Bonnyrigg, Midlothian.
Both operations involved officers from Midlothian, Edinburgh and Forth Valley as officers work together to combat drugs, vehicle theft and serious and organised crime.
Officers recovered two motorbikes, two quad bikes and seven electric bikes in today’s operation. Cocaine and cannabis, with a potential street value of £97,000, has also been seized. Enquiries are ongoing.
Detective Chief Inspector Barry McDaid said: “In the past two days we have recovered a total of 34 stolen vehicles and removed Class A drugs from our streets.
“Both these operations have been extremely successful and underline our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious Organised Crime Strategy.”
