Class A drugs and luxury watches seized in Co Antrim raids as two men being quizzed by police
Two men are being questioned by police following raids on properties and vehicles.
Police said suspected drugs were found (though not what kind) alongside “high-value” watches and cash.
Superintendent Mark Conway said in a statement that officers from the Tactical Support Group, auto crime team, and detectives from Organised Crime Branch were involved.
Two properties were raided in west Belfast and one in Crumlin, whilst a number of vehicles were searched under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
"A quantity of suspected Class A Controlled Drugs, a sum of money and two high value watches were recovered and have been taken away for further forensic examinations,” said Supt Conway.
“A 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of a Class A controlled drug and possession of a Class A controlled drug with intent to supply.
"A 22 year old man was also arrested on suspicion of possession of criminal property.
"Both men remain in police custody at this time.
“A related search was also conducted by officers at a premises in the west Belfast area, and our enquiries are continuing.”
He added: “We work relentlessly to tackle the supply, use and harm caused by illegal drugs and we will continue to do this to disrupt and prevent those involved in drug-related activity.”
