£120,000 Herbal Cannabis Found In Lisburn

Police have seized around £120,000 of herbal cannabis during a house search on the Ballylesson Road in Lisburn.

Chief Inspector John Wilson said they had acted on information they had received.

He said: "Herbal cannabis, which if sold by criminals could have made them more than £120,000 was discovered.

"This is very substantial and some of the haul was bagged up and ready for processing.

"Officers have taken more drugs off the streets and this is a key example of how the PSNI is keeping people safe while policing in the community."
