Meanwhile, cannabis with an estimated street value of £60,000 was recovered after a car was stopped on the A90 at Fordoun in Aberdeenshire.
The recovery, which was also made on Friday, led to two people being charged.
A 41-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman are expected to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Monday.
Detective Sergeant Calum Bell said: "We are committed to targeting the illegal supply of drugs in the north-east.
"This latest recovery has removed a significant amount of drugs from communities.
"Anyone with information about the illegal supply of drugs or associated antisocial behaviour is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101.
"All intelligence we receive, no matter how insignificant it may seem, helps us to build a bigger picture, which enables us undertake intelligence led operations and further disrupt the supply of drugs."
