Four men have been arrested after police seized £275,000 in suspected Class B illegal drugs in Lurgan and Belfast yesterday (Tuesday).
Following searches of two vehicles and four properties across the Belfast and Lurgan areas, a number of items were seized.
Detective Inspector Kelly said: “Suspected Class B illegal drugs with a street value of £275,000 and suspected Class A illegal drugs, with a street value of £2,000, as well as a quantity of cash and other items were seized.
“Four males, two aged 36, one aged 40 and another aged 42, were arrested on suspicion of a number of drug related offences. They remain in police custody at this time.
“These arrests and seizures represent our commitment to tackling drug criminality throughout Northern Ireland.
“A significant quantity of drugs has been removed from our streets; drugs which cause misery and pain to families and communities.
“The supply of drugs only serves to line the pockets of organised criminal gangs who prey on the vulnerable in our society.
