HEROIN potentially worth as much as £55,000 has been seized in Gullane.

Police have arrested a man after the Class A drugs were found.

At about 10.10am on Wednesday, a Nissan Qashqai was stopped by road policing officers on East Links Road.

This was following a call by a member of the public reporting concerns about the manner in which a vehicle was being driven.

Heroin and a quantity of suspected cutting agent with a potential value of between £10,000 and £55,000 were seized.

More than 60 diazepam tablets were also recovered.

A 27-year-old man was subsequently charged in connection with drugs supply and road traffic offences and appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court yesterday (Thursday).
