Five 'Large' Bags Of Drugs Collected From Drug Disposal Bins
Police have collected five "large" bags of drugs from anonymous drug disposal bins installed in West Belfast less than a week ago.
The PSNI posted a picture of two of five bags of mixed drugs recovered from the bins in the last few days.
The Rapid Drugs Bin, which allows anyone to anonymously dispose of any unwanted drugs whether prescription or illegal, were installed at the Kennedy Centre, the Falls Community Council and the Dairy Farm.
In the Facebook post, the PSNI said: "There has been a significant amount of both prescription and illegal drugs handed into these bins including strong painkillers, pregablin, cannabis and suspected class A drugs. This project is already demonstrating its worth to the community in getting these dangerous drugs off our streets.
"Well done to all the partner agencies involved in making this project work. Keep using it!"
