More than 100 Police Scotland officers across the country raided a number of properties - both industrial and private - on Friday morning.

In Glasgow, premises were targeted in the Woodlands, Gorbals, Kinning Park, Maryhill and Whiteinch areas of the city.

An estimated £244,900 worth of cannabis plants were recovered from the various addresses along with a five-figure sum of cash.

In Paisley, Renfrewshire, cannabis plants with an estimated street value of £120,000 were seized alongside a suspected £8,000 cocaine haul.

Cannabis plants worth an estimated £261,000 were recovered from a property in Dumfries, Dumfries and Galloway, and a further batch worth in excess of £740,000 was seized from an address in Kirkcaldy, Fife.

Eleven men, aged between 20 and 42, were arrested and charged in connection with the seizures.

The suspects were due to appear in court on Monday. A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.

Detective Inspector Alan Ferguson said: "This day of action was a culmination of months of planning by each of the pro-active teams and involved over 100 officers.

"I have no doubt that the seizures will have a significant impact on the eventual availability of the drugs on the street and, more importantly, an even more significant impact on those who supply the drugs.

"Our commitment to disrupting, seizing and arresting those responsible for this type of crime will continue and I'd encourage anyone who has suspicions of this type of criminal activity to contact police."
