Two Charged In Connection With £1m Cannabis Seizure
A 37-year-old woman and 48-year-old man are due to appear before Belfast Magistrates Court charged in connection with a major drug seizure in South Belfast.
As part of a proactive police operation, detectives from PSNI's Organised Crime Branch, seized cannabis worth an estimated £1 million. The woman was arrested in Stranmillis and the man was detained in the Lisburn Road area.
Detective Inspector Pete Mullan said: "These arrests and seizures are evidence of our ongoing commitment to disrupting the illegal supply of drugs in Northern Ireland. We are glad to have prevented these drugs reaching the streets and to essentially have taken £1 million from the hands of organised criminals who profit from the misery of others."
The pair will face charges including possessing class B drugs, possessing class B drugs with intent to supply, conspiracy to supply class B drugs and possession of a false identity.
As is usual procedure the charges will be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service (PPS).
