Three Arrested in L'Derry For Drug Offences

Police in L'Derry have arrested three people and seized drugs worth an estimated £600.

The arrests were made following a proactive policing operation in the city. On Monday, 18 November, officers observed suspicious behaviour from a 39-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman in the Strand Road area. A search of the pair led to the discovery of Class A and B drugs, along with drug paraphernalia. On Tuesday, November 19th, a 40-year-old woman was arrested at a property in the Cityside area. A search of the property resulted in the seizure of Class B and C drugs, drug paraphernalia, and other items.

All three individuals remain in police custody.

Inspector Pearce said: "We are committed to tackling the illegal supply and use of drugs, and will continue to investigate those who profit from the consequent misery and harm. Our investigation is ongoing and I would ask any member of the public who has any information which could be of assistance to contact police on non-emergency number 101.

"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."
