The drugs seized are suspected to be cocaine and cannabis, a PSNI spokesperson said.

Following searches at three properties in Bangor on Friday, detectives have charged a 34-year-old man with a number of offences, including possession of class A and class B controlled drugs and the possession of class A and class B drugs with intent to supply.

Police also charged a 42-year-old woman with a number of offences, including possession of class A and class B controlled drugs and being concerned in the supply of class A and class B controlled drugs.

Both the man and the woman are expected to appear before Newtownards Magistrates’ Court sitting in Downpatrick on Monday.

Two other men, aged 30 and 60, who were arrested in relation to this incident have been released on bail pending further inquiries.
