A 20-YEAR-OLD man has been charged under the Misuse of Drugs Act after police in the Scottish Borders unearthed a cannabis cultivation in Hawick.
Officers carried out a search of a property in Cheviot Road on Thursday 5th December and seized around 15 plants along with other items of cultivation equipment.
The male was subsequently detained on Monday 9th December and will now be reported to the Procurator Fiscal.
Inspector Carol Wood said: "Our local communities in Hawick have made it very clear that those involved in drug crime are not welcome and we will continue to act on information from the public to remove harmful drugs from the streets.
"Anyone wishing to report drug related offences in there area can contact Police Scotland on 101 or alternatively, the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
