A MAN has been arrested in connection with drugs related offences following the search of a property in Irvine.

Detectives in Ayrshire executed a warrant at an address in the town's Kirk Vennel on Wednesday, April 5.

Police say a quantity of controlled drugs was seized with a potential street value of more than £2,000.

A 24-year-old man has since been arrested in relation to the find.

He was due to make his first appearance at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court earlier today (Thursday, April 6).

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "On April 5, 2023 detectives executed a warrant in Kirk Vennel, Irvine.

"Controlled drugs were seized with a potential street value of over £2000.

"A 24 year old male was arrested for allegedly being concerned in supply of the drugs."

The find comes only a day after officers in Ayrshire raided a cannabis farm in Stevenston, where drugs with a street value of up to £2 million were recovered.
