Man to appear in court charged over heroini drug dealing racket in Belfast

A 22 year old man has been charged with five counts of ‘being concerned in the supply of class A  drugs’ and a number of motoring offences.

He is expected to appear at Belfast Magistrates court tomorrow, Saturday, October 14.

As is usual procedure the charges will be reviewed by the PPS.

The charges follow an arrest in Belfast City centre yesterday, Thursday 12 October by detectives investigating the supply of heroin.

Detective Inspector Pete Mullan said: “We are committed to tackling the supply of drugs into Belfast and other towns and cities across Northern Ireland.

“We continue to identify opportunities to disrupt the trade of drug dealers, to remove harmful drugs from the streets, identify offenders and bring them before the courts.

“Anyone with information on the sale and supply of drugs should feel confident about bringing that information to us.

“Police can be contacted on 101, or information can be given anonymously to the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.”
