A small amount of illegal drugs has been seized at a train station in Belfast.
A 31-year-old man was cautioned as a result.
It follows a proactive operation this evening (Saturday) involving detectives from PSNI Organised Crime, Belfast District Support Team, Border Force, Immigration Enforcement and a PSNI dog handler.
A small number of passengers who had disembarked from trains were searched and the drugs seized.
Detective Inspector Pete Mullan said today’s operation was part of the PSNI’s ‘Think Before You Buy’ anti-drugs campaign (www.thinkbeforeyoubuy.co.uk), which aims to highlight the role of recreational drug use in intimidation and serious violence in Northern Ireland’s communities.
“Think Before You Buy’ is a joint campaign between PSNI, An Garda Siochana, and ‘Safer Blanchardstown’, using posters and a short video to raise awareness that people who engage in casual drug use also contribute to the fear and intimidation inflicted on people, particularly drug debt intimidation,” he explained.
And he is encouraging anyone with any information about the supply of illegal drugs to call police on the non-emergency number 101. Alternatively, information can also be provided to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, which is 100% anonymous.
