I am delighted that these drugs will never make it to the streets of Northern Ireland. I would ask anyone who knows anything about the illegal use and supply of drugs to contact their local police station on the non-emergency number 101, or the independent charity Crimestoppers where you can speak anonymously on 0800 555 111."
