A 33-year-old man has been arrested after thousands of suspected diazepam tablets were seized along with a small quantity of herbal cannabis and two mobile phones in east Belfast.
Police carried out a search at Kilbroney House, Greenway, in the Cregagh area, after a parcel destined for the same address was intercepted. It contained thousands of suspected Pregablin tablets.
The man was arrested on suspicion of importation of a Class C drug and attempted possession with intent to supply a class C controlled drug. He was released on bail pending further enquiries.
Tackling the illegal supply and use of drugs continues to be a priority for police and seizures such as this demonstrates the ongoing commitment to removing illegal drugs from society.
