Police using a search dog have been involved in drug raids at two addresses in Castlebay on the Isle of Barra.
A 41-year-old man and a 62-year-old woman have been arrested and charged in connection with the seizure of cocaine worth £10,000 and more than £2,000 in cash.
They were expected to appear in court later.
Police Scotland said officers from the Western Isles searched the properties on Friday.
The dog, called Viv, and her handler are funded by the Outer Hebrides Drug and Alcohol Partnership, whose members include NHS Western Isles and local authority Comhairle nan Eilean Siar.
