PSNI seize £1,000 of drugs during ‘proactive’ search

Brownlow Neighbourhood Team seized almost £1,000 of herbal cannabis during ‘a proactive search’ in Portadown.

Constable Matthew Keys said: “The search at an address in Bridgeford Meadows took place this morning under the Misuse of Drugs Act. In addition to the drugs, we also seized cash, a mobile phone and electronic storage devices.

PSNI is committed to disrupting the supply of, and removal of illegal drugs from our communities, as well as arresting those who continue to harm people by selling them.

“If you have information about the manufacture, sale or supply of illegal drugs please get in touch with us by calling 101 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime. Your actions could make a difference.”
