A MAN was arrested after allegedly being found with more than 5000 diazepam tablets.

The 32-year-old was nabbed by cops in Castlemilk, in the South Side of Glasgow, earlier this week.

He was allegedly found with 5684 illegal diazepam tablets and arrested.

The Class C tranquilliser tablets are known as "The Blues" because of their colour.

Police said the man was also allegedly found with 73g of cannabis.

A Police Scotland statement said: "A 32-year-old male arrested in Castlemilk for allegedly being concerned in the supply of drugs.

"Cannabis and 5684 diazepam tablets were seized."

The man is expected to appear in court at a later date.
