EDINBURGH, Scotland, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- Scottish police have returned almost $7,800 worth of Elvis memorabilia mistakenly seized during a drug raid on an Edinburgh home.

The confiscated items included a poster advertising a gig in February 1956, a signed photograph and a gold plated RCA disc from March 1956, although no drugs were found, the Edinburgh Evening News reported Monday.

The memorabilia has been returned to Ralph Miller, 28, who had left the memorabilia at his friend's flat in the Old Town.

"The police raided (a friend's) flat looking for drugs. They didn't find any but they did find the Elvis stuff and decided to seize it on the assumption it had been stolen," he said, adding that he had been unaware how much the collection was worth. "Now it's going up for sale. We've just arranged to get it valued and then we're going to put it up for auction."
