A 35-year-old man was arrested following the discovery of a large quantity of suspected Class A controlled drugs, after a car was stopped on the Oldpark Road in north Belfast earlier on Thursday.
Police said follow-up searches were conducted at addresses in north Belfast and Glengormley, with a further substantial amount of suspected Class A and mixing agent recovered. A large sum of cash and deal bags were also found.
Detective Inspector Kelly said: “The Police Service under Operation Dealbreaker is actively committed to removing drugs from our streets and arresting those dealing dangerous drugs in our community. Too many times, drugs such as these have led to death and destruction amongst families dealing with addiction issues.
“I would ask if anyone has any information about suspected drug dealing in their area to call the non-emergency number 101. Information can also be given anonymously to the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.”
