A man has been charged after police recovered thousands of pounds worth of drugs and cash in Renfrewshire.

Officers on patrol pulled over a vehicle in Brediland Road, Paisley, at around 12.30am on Saturday.

It is alleged that, when police searched the vehicle, they found a bag containing cocaine and ecstasy.

A warrant was then obtained by officers to search the 24-year-old suspect's home, where drugs and cash were reportedly recovered.

He was later released on an undertaking and is due to appear at Paisley Sheriff Court at a later date.
