Fife police have seized more than £10,000 of heroin dumped in Inverkeithing after an anonymous tip-off from a local resident.

The force acted on information that there was a suspicious number of packages located on open ground in Inverkeithing and moved to recover the items.

The incident occurred last Friday afternoon and the force is currently investigating how the drugs came to be in the location and who they belong too.

Head of South West Fife Villages CID, DI Derek McEwan, said, "Thankfully these drugs were able to be removed from circulation prior to exposing any member of the public, whether it be adult or child, to the hazards of coming into contact or taking this particular type of drug.

"I would emphasise to any member of the public who believes they know the whereabouts of any controlled drugs or persons involved in that drug trade to contact Fife police as we are committed to reducing the harm caused by illegal drugs."
