Three men are due to appear in court after 150kg of cannabis was discovered at Aberdeen Airport earlier this month.
It is thought to be the largest ever drugs seizure at the Granite City transport hub, with the Class B drugs discovered after a flight arrived from London Heathrow on December 20.
The men, aged 19, 25 and 25, are understood to have travelled from Bangkok in Thailand via Doha, Qatar before National Crime Agency (NCA) officers arrested the trio.
None of the three men have been charged with any offences and have been released on an undertaking to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Thursday, January 16.
A NCA spokesperson said: “On Friday December 20, 2024, three men aged 25, 25 and 19 were arrested at Aberdeen Airport by National Crime Agency officers, supported by Border Force.
“The arrests were in relation to the seizure of around 150 kilos of drugs, believed to be cannabis.
“The men were released on an undertaking to attend Aberdeen Sheriff Court on January 16, 2025. Enquiries are continuing.”
