A man and woman have been arrested after cannabis with an estimated street value of £1million was recovered in Belfast last night (Thursday).
The 37-year-old woman was arrested in Stranmillis, and the 48-year-old man was detained in the Lisburn Road area, as part of a proactive investigation into the supply of illegal drugs in Northern Ireland.
Detective Inspector Pete Mullan said these arrests and seizures are evidence of their ongoing commitment to removing and disrupting the illegal supply of drugs into Northern Ireland.
“The seizure of these drugs has removed a substantial amount of cannabis and prevented £1million from falling into the hands of organised criminals who profit from other’s misery.
“We are committed to tackling the issue of drugs and would appeal to the public to speak to us if they have any concerns or information regarding drugs in their area. The number to call is 101,” he added.
