Drugs Worth £220,000 Seized In PSNI Operations

Two people have been arrested and drugs worth an estimated £220,000 have been seized in a series of intelligence-led searches across Limavady and Antrim, led by the Limavady Neighbourhood Policing Team, supported by colleagues from Antrim and the District Support Team.

As a result, over £20,000 of suspected Class A controlled drugs and over £200,000 of prescription and counterfeit drugs and steroids were seized alongside a number of electronic devices.

The two people arrested – 36-year-old a man and a 30-year-old woman – have since been released on bail to allow for further police enquiries.

Sergeant Ian Ferriby said: "These drugs are now safely off our streets this Christmas and we would like to thank the public for their ongoing support. We need to know more about what's going on in your community. Help us build a picture of the drug criminality and we can take action, just like we've done in Antrim and Limavady. Public support in these searches is appreciated. Only together can we stop these drug dealers.

Please call police in confidence on the non-emergency number 101, or submit a report online using our non-emergency reporting form via www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/.
