Detective Sergeant Craig Savage said: “Anyone who introduces drugs into our communities for their own gain should be in absolutely no doubt that we will rigorously pursue every means possible to disrupt this activity.
“Seizures such as this show our commitment nationally to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious and Organised Crime Strategy.
“Locally in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde our officers are determined to protect members of the public from this type of criminality.”
