A woman has been charged after a police discovered heroin worth an estimated £180,000 during a car stop in Dumfries and Galloway.

Officers acting on intelligence stopped the car on the M74 near Lockerbie at 20:25 on Friday.

The 25-year-old was arrested and released on an undertaking to appear at Dumfries Sheriff Court at a later date.

Det Supt Steven Elliott described the recovery as "significant," adding: "Drugs cause misery in our communities and we are committed to disrupting their supply."
