OFFICERS from the PSNI Reactive and Organised Crime Branch today arrested a 26 year old female in Belfast in connection with alleged drugs offences.

The investigation relates to the seizure of herbal cannabis with an estimated street value of £40,000 in the Republic of Ireland.

In an operation carried out in conjunction with the Irish Revenue’s Customs Service and the National Crime Agency, the woman was arrested this morning at a house in the Ardcaoin area of Dunmurry.

A small quantity of suspected class A drugs were also uncovered during a search of the house.

The woman has been conveyed to Musgrave Police Station for interview on suspicion of trafficking class A and B controlled drugs.

Detective Inspector Andy Dunlop said: “I believe this investigation reinforces our commitment and determination to work with all agencies to identify those who are suspected of drugs trafficking at all levels.

“If you have any involvement in the supply of controlled drugs, you can expect to be arrested.”
