Police have arrested and charged a 37-year-old man in connection with the recovery of what's believed to be heroin worth several hundred pounds at a Methil property.

A drugs warrant was executed at an address on Keir Hardie Wynd in the town yesterday morning.

A 57-year-old woman was also arrested.

Enquiries are ongoing and reports will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal in due course.

Local officers have been working to tackle drug crime during the lockdown.

Speaking yesterday, Inspector Paul Gillespie of Levenmouth Police Station said: "Local officers have been working tirelessly over the past few weeks to provide high visibility patrols across the Levenmouth area, to provide reassurance to our local communities.

"Our local officers have also been continuing to pro-actively deal with drug criminality during lockdown.

"The executive action taken today, will be followed up with referrals to our colleagues across a range of services to provide support to all parties involved.

"I would like to thank the public for their assistance in identifying persons involved in drug dealing and would urge people to contact Police Scotland via 101, or Crimestoppers, to report any drug dealing activity or other criminality.
