Police swarmed an industrial building in the Inverclyde town on Thursday morning.
Five men have appeared in court charged with drug offences after police raided an industrial building in Greenock on Thursday.
Officers from Police Scotland swarmed the Inverclyde town’s former tobacco warehouse on Clarence Street at around 11.15am on June 5, after receiving a report of a “possible cannabis cultivation”.
The men, aged between 17 and 50, were later arrested and charged, and appeared at Greenock Sheriff Court on Friday, June 6.
A heavy police presence was seen in the area, with multiple police vehicles parked along the street.
Police cars appeared to be blocking the road at each end. Uniformed officers were also seen standing guard and talking to locals outside.
Giap Thai, 50, Ervin Guri, 38, Eldison Hoxha, 26, Ariel Ruko, 23, and a 17-year-old male who could not be named for legal reasons, were arrested following the incident.
All five were charged under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
None of the men entered a plea, and they were all remanded in custody. Their next court appearance is expected to be within eight days.
