Cash and drugs have been recovered from two properties in Rathcoole in Newtownabbey.
Officers from the Paramilitary Crime Task Force (PCTF) seized a quantity of cash and suspected Class B controlled drugs following searches on Monday (25 July), as part of an investigation into suspected criminality linked to the South East Antrim UDA.
Detective Superintendent Neill said following proactive searches of two residential properties in the Rathcoole area, police recovered an amount of cash and drugs.
The investigation is ongoing.
“These searches and seizures are a demonstration of the PCTF’s commitment to tackle all types of organised criminality linked to paramilitaries. I would like to thank the community for their continued support as we work to remove drugs which could have caused harm and addiction issues.
“I also appeal to anyone with information regarding any form of criminality, to call us in confidence on 101, or to submit a report online using our non-emergency reporting form via www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/,” he said.
