Drugs with an estimated street value of £50,000 have been seized in the Carnhill area of L'Derry.

The car came to a stop in the Carnhill area and the two occupants got out of the car, walked away and did not return to it.

The PSNI have issued an appeal for anyone with any information to contact them.
