Three men have appeared in court following the seizure of cocaine with an estimated street value of £1m.

Felix Flannigan, 56, Ryan Akinlami, 35, and Brandon Sampher, also 35, were arrested following searches of properties across West Lothian last Thursday.

Drug squad detectives recovered 21.5kg of cocaine and seized about £80,000 in cash during the raids in Fauldhouse, West Calder, Polbeth and Livingston.

The men made no plea during the brief, private hearing at Livingston Sheriff Court.

They were charged with being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs and being involved in serious and organised crime.

The men, who all gave West Lothian addresses, were committed for further examination and remanded in custody.

They are expected to make a second court appearance within the next eight days to be fully committed for trial.

A 54-year-old woman, who was also detained as part of the “Operation Silhouette” investigation led by Police Scotland’s Serious and Organised Crime Unit, was released pending further inquiries.
