The PSNI have raided a house in Co Antrim, seizing a stash of drugs.

The PSNI have not said what the drugs were (except that they were Class As) or how much they seized.

The raid was “part of an ongoing operation into organised crime” by detectives from the Paramilitary Crime Task Force, and targeted a property in the Broughshane area.

Detective Sergeant Hyslop said: “As a result of the search, officers seized a quantity of suspected Class A drugs, together with other items, including a mobile phone.
