Three Arrested In Connection With £250,000 Drug Seizure

Detectives from the PSNI's Organised Crime Unit have made a significant drug seizure, arresting three individuals and recovering approximately £250,000 worth of suspected Class B controlled drugs.

The arrests were made on Monday, 18 November, following a series of operations. A 41-year-old man was apprehended in the Prince Charles Way area of Glengormley after police stopped a van he was driving. A subsequent search of the vehicle uncovered suspected Class B drugs with an estimated street value of £150,000.

Further investigations led to the arrest of a 37-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman at a Belfast city centre hotel. Suspected Class B drugs worth approximately £105,000 were recovered from their room. All three individuals remain in police custody as the investigation continues.

Detective Inspector Kelly from the Organised Crime Unit said: "This is a significant amount of drugs removed from our streets as we approach the festive season. We are committed to tackling organised and we will continue to disrupt the activities of this group and others involved in the supply of controlled drugs in our community.

"I would encourage anyone who has any information about the use or supply of illegal drugs to contact police on the non-emergency number 101 with any information they have. Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime."
