Five Arrested In Belfast Drug Seizure

Five people have been arrested in connection with a heroin seizure in Belfast.

A total of 109 wraps of suspected heroin, worth an estimated £2,700, were seized during a "pro-active police operation by the Belfast District Support Team" in Sprucefield and Belfast on the evening of Sunday, 09 June.

It is understood that the operation was launched after officers "noted some people acting suspiciously in the Sprucefield area of Lisburn".

Four men and one woman were arrested during the operation and have since been charged with a range of drug importation, possession and supply offences. They will appear at Belfast Magistrates court this morning, Tuesday 11 June.
