A MAN and a woman have been arrested after drugs with a street value of £300,000 were found in properties in Co. Antrim.
Detectives from the PSNI’s Paramilitary Crime Task Force searched properties in the Carnlough and west Belfast areas last night (Monday, April 3).
“Suspected cocaine and cannabis with an estimated value of £300,000 were seized along with mixing agents, cash and designer watches,” the police force confirmed today.
The drugs seized by the PSNIA 41-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman have been arrested on suspicion of drug and money laundering offences and remain in custody.
Detective Inspector Maguire said: “This operation has resulted in the seizure of a significant amount of harmful Class A drugs which otherwise would have been distributed into the community.”
He added: “The supply of cocaine and cannabis poses a real risk to the public’s health.
“The Paramilitary Crime Task Force remains committed to protecting communities and dismantling the supply of illegal drugs.
“I would encourage anyone with information, or concerns, to contact us on 101."
