Six people have been charged after divisional officers and those from Ayrshire Proactive Crime Team were called to a property on West Langlands Street in Kilmarnock at around 10am on Wednesday, January 18.

In the meantime, anyone with any information about drug crime in their area are being urged to get in touch with police in the hopes that such activity can be eradicated altogether.
Detective Sergeant Terry McEwan of the Ayrshire Proactive Crime Team said: “One of main priorities is removing drugs from our street.
"I would ask anyone with any information about drug activity in their area to report this to us so that we can investigate thoroughly.
