Man Arrested After Large Quantity Of Drugs Found In Vehicle Stop
A man has been arrested in connection with the discovery of a large quantity of suspected Class A controlled drugs, uncovered during a vehicle stop in Belfast.
Officers from the PSNI's Auto Crime Team stopped a car on Oldpark Road on Thursday 17 August, and conducted a search, locating a large quantity of suspected Class A controlled drugs, placing a 35-year-old man under arrest.
Follow-up searches were conducted at addresses in north Belfast and Glengormley with a further substantial amount of suspected Class A and mixing agent recovered. Also a large sum of cash and deal bags.
Detective Inspector Kelly said: "The Police Service under Operation Dealbreaker is actively committed to removing drugs from our streets and arresting those dealing dangerous drugs in our community. Too many times, drugs such as these have led to death and destruction amongst families dealing with addiction issues.
"I would ask if anyone has any information about suspected drug dealing in their area to call the non-emergency number 101. Information can also be given anonymously to the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111."
