WOMAN ARRESTED AND £18,000 OF COCAINE SEIZED IN CROSS BORDER PROBE

DETECTIVES have seized suspected cocaine with an estimated street value in the region of £18,000 and arrested a 45 year old woman early this morning, Thursday, June 20.

Detective Sergeant Johnston said: “Acting on information provided by colleagues in An Garda Síochána who had detained a number of individuals and seized a large quantity of herbal cannabis near Dublin, PSNI officers carried out a search under the Misuse of Drugs Act at an address in Riverside Meadows in Ballynahinch shortly after midnight.

“A quantity of suspected class A drugs were discovered and will now be sent for closer forensic examination.

“The arrested female remains in PSNI custody this afternoon.

“Operations like this one demonstrates the efficacy of cross-border co-operation between PSNI and An Garda Síochana and how such close liaison between the agencies of the Joint Agency Taskforce can help law enforcement in both jurisdictions identify criminality, make arrests and ultimately place individuals before the courts.”
