Man Arrested Over Drugs Find
A man has been arrested after police discovered cocaine, cannabis and prescription drugs in Co L'Derry.
A large sum of cash was also found during searches.
The suspect has been detained in connection with importing drugs and is alleged to have attacked a police officer.
The drugs, cash and mobile phones were seized following raids on properties in the Crawford Square and Carnhill areas.
Detective Inspector Tom McClure said, “We know drugs are an issue of concern for local communities and we understand the misery drugs can cause to communities, to families and to those who get involved in drugs.
"We will continue to disrupt and arrest those involved in the sale and supply of drugs, bring individuals before the courts and work with communities and partner agencies to reduce the threat of harmful and illegal activity."
