They then searched a property in the street and recovered cocaine, MDMA, heroin and mixing agent.

Two men, aged 18 and 25, were arrested and charged and were released on an undertaking to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court at a later date, police said.
Later on Friday, officers stopped a Volkswagen Golf vehicle on Wallace Street at about 6.35pm which led them to then search properties in North Dryburgh Road, Wishaw; Strathclyde Street, Dalmarnock and Kilbirnie Street, Glasgow.
Following the vehicle and property searches, a quantity of heroin, cocaine, and herbal cannabis was recovered with an estimated street value of £37,000, along with a four-figure sum of money.
