Two men and a woman arrested in Lurgan on Thursday have been released on police bail to allow for further enquiries to be conducted into the discovery of drugs worth around £30,000.

The drugs were seized by police in Lurgan on Thursday, November 20 along with several thousand pounds in cash and other items of drug paraphernalia.

The ‘proactive search operation’ involved the search of a property and vehicle under the Misuse of Drugs Act by the Lurgan Neighbourhood Policing Team in the Grattan Street area.

Police said “a significant quantity of suspected cocaine, prescription medications including various benzodiazepines, and cannabis have now been seized and removed from possible distribution in the Lurgan community”.

Chief Inspector Tim Flanigan said: “Drugs don’t just harm the individuals who use them - they tear at the fabric of our community.

"They fuel addiction, increase vulnerability, drive anti-social behaviour, and bring fear and exploitation to our streets. Every seizure helps disrupt this cycle and protects the most vulnerable.

"Operations like this would not be possible without vital information provided by members of the public. Your vigilance and willingness to speak up make a real difference.

"If you have concerns or information about drugs or criminal activity in your area, please continue to report it. Together, we can keep our community safe.”

Police said the three individuals were interviewed on suspicion of a range of offences including possession of class A drugs with intent to supply and have been released on police bail to allow for further police enquiries.

Sinn Féin councillor Sorchá McGeown welcomed the drugs seizure, saying it removed “unwanted, harmful drugs from our streets”.

"Drugs and the criminality linked to them are a blight on all our communities, causing untold devastation and destroying countless lives,” said Cllr McGeown.

"Anyone with information on the supply of illegal drugs should report it immediately.”
