Drugs Worth £48,000 Seized In West Belfast
Drugs worth an estimated £48,000 have been seized during a Paramilitary Crime Task Force (PCTF) search operation into suspected drugs criminality linked to the west Belfast UDA.
Detective Inspector Corrigan said: "Following proactive searches at three locations in the Shankill area, we also recovered an estimated 10,000 cigarettes, as well as a quantity of cash and a number of suspected counterfeit items, including football shirts.
"The searches and seizures are a demonstration of the PCTF's commitment to tackle all types of organised criminality linked to paramilitaries, in an ongoing effort to rid our communities of the harm these groups cause and of their coercive control.
"Our enquiries are ongoing and we would like to thank the local community for their continued support and will continue to act on the information you provide us."
