Police Mock Alleged Drug Dealer After Raid

Thousands of pounds worth of illegal substances have been seized in Lurgan after an alleged dealer left their door open.

Drugs and paraphernalia were discovered by police after a search in the Taghnevan area on the evening of Tuesday 30 October.

Posting to Facebook, PSNI Craigavon said it had seized around £4,400 of "criminal gear".

"How many times do we have to say it? LOCK YOUR DOOR!!

"DST (District Support Team) didn't even need to put this door up the hall way! They just walked in! Where's the fun in that?!"

One individual was arrested during the raid for possession of class B drugs with an intent to supply.

Officers have appealed to any members of the public who suspect there may be someone dealing in their area, or know "where they're hiding it and how they're selling it" to get in touch.
