As part of an ongoing operation into organised crime, PSNI detectives from the Paramilitary Crime Task Force (PCTF) seized a quantity of Class A drugs in Broughshane on Wednesday.

Searches were carried out at a house in the Co Antrim village, where the drugs were seized along with other items, including a mobile phone.

A PSNI spokesperson said enquiries remain ongoing following the seizures.

“This is a demonstration of the PCTF’s commitment to tackle the harm caused by illegal drug use and supply in our communities,” the PSNI said.

“I would encourage anyone with information about the supply or use of illegal drugs to contact police on 101, or you can submit a report online using our non-emergency reporting form via http://www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/.”
