HEROIN with an estimated street value of £37,000 was recovered from a vehicle at the Holmsgarth ferry terminal on Sunday, police in Shetland have now confirmed.

Two people from Fife, Sean Penman, 42, and Gillian Hay, 41, already appeared at Lerwick Sheriff Court on Monday charged with being concerned in the supply of drugs.

Both made no plea and were released on bail pending further examination.

The pair were also both charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice and carrying an offensive weapon in a public place.

Penman was also charged with drug possession and two road traffic offences.
