£600k Of Cannabis Seized
£600,000 of cannabis has been seized by the PSNI's Organised Crime Branch, following the stop and search of a number of vehicles in Glengormley.
The seizures were carried out in the Ballyrobert and Corrs Corner areas.
Three men, aged 33, 39 and 47, were arrested during the operation and charged with possession and possession with intent to supply class B drugs. Two of the men were also charged with supplying a class B drug.
Commenting on the Operation, Detective Inspector Alan Pyper from Organised Crime Branch said: "We take pride in our success today in as much as this operation has taken a large amount of drugs out of circulation and made our communities safer. But we are not complacent. We know there are other individuals involved in drugs supply and we are determined to use every legitimate resource to frustrate, disrupt and dismantle these groups.
"We are determined to continue to make Northern Ireland a hostile environment for those who would seek to make money from supplying drugs to our fellow citizens. Drugs make money for criminals but they bring misery and tragedy to users and communities. I would ask that everyone in our community works with us to reduce the threat posed by drugs so that we can continue to apprehend those responsible and bring them before the courts."
