Hide AdDetective Sergeant Stafford Megson, who led the operation, said officers had ‘targeted a number of key individuals’ suspected of being involved in the supply of drugs in Broomhall and across the city.
He said: “This should send a clear message to those involved in criminal activity which has a detrimental impact on the community, that we will not tolerate this on our streets.
“You may not think it, but you are on our radar and we will use all powers available to us to stop you in your tracks.”
