COPS discovered drugs and a firearm during a raid of two properties in Busby.

The search under warrant was carried out at properties in Easterton Avenue and Bon Accord Road at around 6.30pm on Friday, July 21.

Police say a large quantity of controlled drugs, believed to be cannabis was recovered, and a firearm was also found during the search.

Three people, two men, aged 39 and 17 years, and a 35-year-old woman, were arrested and have since appeared at Paisley Sheriff Court in connection with the incident.

Sergeant Edward McLemon, of the East Renfrewshire Local Problem Solving Team, said: "Following concerns from the local community, officers from the Greater Glasgow Proactive Crime Unit and the Local Problem Solving Team, who serve in the East Renfrewshire area of Greater Glasgow, carried out a joint initiative tackling alleged drug activity in the Busby and Clarkston area.

"On a daily basis, officers work to disrupt this type of criminal activity and I would urge members of the public to pass on any information that could assist us.

"Police Scotland is committed to removing drugs from our communities as drugs can have detrimental effects on the local community and even ruin lives.

"Anyone with information regarding drug activity in their area can contact their local police on 101, speak to officers out on patrol or if you wish to remain anonymous you can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
