Police have recovered £120,000 worth of cannabis from one of the "largest cultivations operations ever seen" in Glasgow.
Officers, acting on a public tip and under a warrant, searched a commercial premises on Moffat Street, Gorbals on Friday, August 19.
They found 600 cannabis plants with an estimated street value of £120,000 as well as 600 bags of unused soil worth around £10,000.
Although the soil would normally have been destroyed following the discovery, this time it was redistributed by local officers.
They were given to schools, community gardens and allotments across the city after input from Police Scotland Youth Volunteers and the SERCO Community Renewal Team.
Inspector Cennydd Smith of Gorbals Police Station said: “Industrial sized cannabis cultivations are used by criminal gangs who take advantage of some of the most vulnerable people in our society and use the money from these cultivations to fund other criminal activities.
"Being able to disrupt this activity at its early stages is an excellent result and being able to bring some added benefits to community groups across Glasgow is a real bonus”
Sergeant Gary Bone of Community Policing Team at Gorbals Police Station, added: “This premises had the potential to be one of the largest cultivations operations I have seen.
"There were other growing rooms being prepared inside that would have significantly increased its capacity. This early discovery has seriously impacted on the group’s ability to operate.
“It was information from the community that led us to this discovery.
" It is vital that we work together with the local community to tackle the supply and distribution of drugs and we would urge anyone with information about drug crime in the area to contact police

A delivery driver who claims he was viciously kicked in the head after being ‘attacked by a road rage driver ’ has slammed police after they gave him with a recorded caution instead. James McGoldrick called officers for help after being followed by a man who had earlier cut him off on the road while he was on his way to drop off food in East Kilbride last November. The 59-year-old claims he was knocked to the ground and repeatedly punched and kicked by the man as he tried to defend himself.

James, who believes he is a victim of injustice, told the Record: “I ended up with a concussion but they’re trying to say it was a wee stramash.
