The PSNI’s West Belfast Neighbourhood Policing Team has seized more than £70,000 worth of class B and C drugs during a proactive search operation.
The search, under the Misuse of Drugs Act, took place in the Lenadoon area on Thursday, May 30.
A large quantity of cannabis was located along with prescription medications, cash and electronics, all of which will now be examined further by police.
Inspector Moutray said: “We are doing all we can to prevent and detect as much drug-related activity as possible and yesterday’s seizure is an example of effective community-based policing at its best.
“The efforts are in keeping with Operation Dealbreaker – that’s our organisational commitment to tackle every aspect of drug misuse across Northern Ireland, and that includes its harrowing impact on the lives and relationships of local people.”
Inspector Moutray added: “I would appeal to anyone with any information about suspected drug dealing in their area to call the non-emergency number 101 or submit information online via www.psni.police.uk/
Alternatively, information can also be given anonymously to the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org
