A 57-year-old woman was arrested following the recovery of a three-figure sum of cannabis during raids at two Dundee flats.
Two properties were raided on Wednesday morning on Balunie Avenue in Douglas.
Cannabis with an estimated street value of £700 was recovered from properties at the junction of Balunie Avenue and Baldovie Place just after 9am.
Shocked onlookers said officers in riot gear entered the block before officers removed several evidence bags from the scene.
Inspector Lucy Cameron said the recovery showed officers’ “commitment” to disrupting drug activity in local communities.

“The police came out with clear and brown evidence bags from the block, there was a few of them.
“There was a visible police presence here until at least 11am outside the flats.
“One woman was taken away by police in the van and another one was interviewed at the scene.

One man said there was a “large” police presence as he was walking along Balunie Avenue.
He said: “There was two police vans and three cars at the scene at one point.
“When I walked along I saw all the officers were congregated outside the entrance of the close.
“I saw a woman being taken away in the van a short while later.”
