Two people have been arrested on suspicion of drugs offences after a quantity of suspected cannabis was discovered when police stopped and searched a car on the Moy Road in Armagh yesterday (Wednesday 30 October).
A 27-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of Class B controlled drugs and possession of class B controlled drugs with intent.
A follow-up search at a property in the Gough Avenue area of the city resulted in the seizure of approximately half a kilogram of suspected cocaine.
A 31-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of supply offences.
Both the man and woman are currently in custody.
Detective Inspector Colin Patterson said with over £100,000 worth of illegal substances removed from the streets, police continue to make Northern Ireland a hostile environment to those involved in drug dealing within our communities.
“We will seek to identify them, arrest them and bring them before the courts.
“I would encourage anyone with information about the sale and supply of illegal drugs to get in touch with police on 101. Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime,” he added.
