Drugs worth around £180,000 found in Belfast

Drugs worth an estimated £180,000 have been seized by police in Belfast.

The find was made at a property in the Beersbridge Road area on December 30th.

A 45-year old man and 45-year old woman were arrested and questioned on suspicion of a number of offences.

They were later released pending further enquiries.

A PSNI spokesperson said: "This seizure is a significant quantity of harmful drugs together with a range of other drugs paraphernalia.

"We are determined to remove illegal drugs from our community, arrest those suspected to be involved in the drug supply chain and put them before the courts.

"Those involved in the supply and distribution of illegal and unregulated drugs, exploit some of the most vulnerable members of communities across Northern Ireland for money to support their lifestyle. They do not care about the impact on the user, their family, friends or the Health Service.

"For information on local support services that can help with issues like drug addiction, please visit www.drugsandalcoholni.info. There is also a range of services available if you are affected by someone else’s drinking and/or drug misuse.

"Information on these services is also available on this website. These services are available to you regardless of whether or not your loved one is receiving help for their addiction."

"We continue to appeal to anyone with information about illegal drug use or supply to call us on the non-emergency number 101."
