PSNI Donate To HURT After Forfeiture Order
Police in Derry City & Strabane have donated £2,460 to the HURT charity after Londonderry Crown Court granted a forfeiture order arising from a drugs and cash seizure.
District Support Team Inspector Cathal Pearce said: "This was one of our cases that went through the Court. Controlled Class B drugs were seized during a vehicle stop in the Waterside area in October 2024, and a subsequent house search in the city when a further quantity of Class B controlled drugs and cash were seized."
"The Judge granted the Forfeiture Order we applied for and, as a result of this, we have been able to donate of £2,460 seized as part of the investigation to local charity HURT (Have Your Tomorrows)."
He added: "We have no doubt the money will be used to support people who are vulnerable and in need of help."
HURT supports young people in Derry/Londonderry, Limavady and Strabane who are dealing with alcohol and drug addiction.
Leanne Doherty, Business Development and Social Enterprise Manager for HURT, said: "We are delighted to receive this kind donation from the PSNI. At a time when demand for our services continues to grow and the funding landscape remains increasingly challenging; this support is invaluable. It enables us to continue providing our services at no cost to our clients, ensuring that those who need help most can access it without barrier."
