Police have arrested a man on suspicion of drug offences
following searches in the Coalisland area last night, Thursday 14th
December.
Inspector Knipe said: “While conducting a
routine vehicle check point in the Ballynakilly Road area of Coalisland
at around 9.30pm, local neighbourhood officers searched a vehicle and
discovered a quantity of suspected Class B controlled drugs.
“Officers
then conducted a number of follow up searches of a property in the
Dungannon area, where a large quantity of suspected Class A and Class B
controlled drugs were found. The suspected drugs have now been taken
away for further examination.
“A 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of a number of drug offences. He remains in police custody at this time.
“This
is another example, as part of Op Dealbreaker, of our determination to
remove such substances from our streets and prosecute those who make
their living by dealing drugs.
“The devastating
impact of the drugs trade on communities, families and children is well
documented. Together we can stop it and I would appeal for anyone with
any information about drug dealing in your local area to please pass
this information to police.”
