Mid Ulster police seize 'significant' quantity of drugs during searches of multiple premises
Drugs with a street value of around £15,000 have been seized in Mid Ulster.
Officers from the District Support Team led multiple search operations with the assistance of local and neighbourhood police officers across the Mid Ulster area on Friday.
A PSNI spokesperson described it as “a coordinated date of action” during which they “successfully targeted those involved in the supply of illegal drugs in our communities”.
Multiple premises were searched under warrant, resulting in six arrests and the seizure of a “significant” quantity of class A and class B controlled drugs.
Police said early provisional estimates place a street value of the seizures at around £15,000.
"Disrupting and dismantling criminal groups concerned in the supply of drugs in Mid Ulster remains our district’s priority,” continued the police spokesperson. “Illegal drug supply directly funds organised crime, drives violence and increases exploitation within our communities.
"For those involved in drug dealing, the message today is clear: there is no safe place for you in Mid Ulster. It is not a matter of if, but when we catch up with you.
"Our success demonstrates that when police have the right information, our officers can take decisive action to protect our communities.
"If you know someone involved in the supply of drugs in your area we want to hear from you.
"You can contact police on 101 or report anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Your help and assistance could lead to our next arrest.”
