A 40-year-old man has been arrested after £50,000 of suspected prescription drugs were seized in Ballymena on Tuesday afternoon.
Officers from District Support Team and Neighbourhood carried out the search after Border Force colleagues intercepted the package.
Chief Inspector William Calderwood has welcomed the removal of these tablets from the community and praised the partnership approach to tackling the sale and supply of drugs.
“We are all too familiar with the damage drug misuse can cause in families and communities. The criminal elements involved have no regard for the misery they cause and we are determined to work with partners and communities to reduce demand, signpost those who need help to the appropriate support service and arrest and charge those involved in the supply chain,” he said.
The 40-year-old is expected to appear at Ballymena Magistrate’s Court on August 6.
