Search uncovers £25,000-worth of cannabis in flat Belfast
Police have arrested a woman in Belfast in a 'follow-up' operation to a drugs bust in Carrickfergus eight months earlier.
The PSNI arrested a 32-year-old woman on suspicion of a number of drugs-related offences following the search of an apartment in central Belfast.
On Wednesday morning, the PSNI said that they had carried out a search of the flat in the Custom House Square area one day earlier.
Cannabis plants with an approximate street value of £25,000 and a quantity of herbal cannabis were seized at the address.
The woman was arrested at a separate address in north Belfast.
She has since been released on police bail pending further enquiries.
Detective Constable Glenn from Reactive and Organised Crime in Larne said: “This search and arrest come as part of a follow-up operation to the seizure of cannabis in Carrickfergus in December 2015.
“Our enquiries are continuing and I would appeal to anyone with any information about the use or supply of illegal drugs to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
