Dutch ecstasy find linked to LVF
Ecstasy tablets worth several millions of pounds have been seized in a joint operation between the PSNI, Dutch Police and the National Criminal Intelligence Service.
The drugs, amounting to around 750,000 tablets, were seized in Holland today along with bulking agents for cocaine and three weapons.
Two Dutch nationals were arrested during the operation.
The PSNI Drugs Squad linked the capture with a number of drug seizures in the province in recent weeks.
They said they also believed today's capture would have a major impact on the drugs manufacture and supply route to loyalist paramilitary group, the LVF.
Assistant Chief Constable Sam Kincaid, who is head of the Police Service's Crime Operations Department, praised the co-operation with police in Holland.
