Suspected Class A drugs recovered after vehicle searched

A PSNI spokesperson said: "Our officers in Carrickfergus NPT stopped an uninsured vehicle on Monday. The driver made off and we subsequently seized the vehicle which was later searched and a large quantity of suspected Class A controlled drugs were recovered.

"We are now working with our colleagues in Forensics and Fingerprint Branch to recover evidence which will help us to identify the offender.

"Stopping an uninsured vehicle has resulted in dangerous drugs being removed from the streets of our community. It is a good example of how addressing a small issue can lead to the prevention and detection of more harmful crime and that is why information from you, no matter how insignificant it may seem, is vital in helping us tackle crime in your neighbourhood.

"If you have information about crime or suspicious activity in your area, please share it with us by phoning 101."
