The suspected Class A drugs seized by police

Police from Derry City & Strabane have seized around £2,100 worth of suspected Class A drugs and made an arrest on Wednesday evening, August 6.

Officers were on routine patrol in the city at around 9.10pm, when they observed the driver of a vehicle behave in a suspicious manner before attempting to drive away, colliding with a parked vehicle as he did so. The driver then fled the scene on foot.

Subsequently, District Support Team officers attended a city side residential address and conducted a search of the property, which led to the seizure of suspected cocaine and cannabis.

A 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of a number of offences including being concerned in the supply of a Class A controlled drug and possession of a Class A controlled drug with intent to supply. He remains in custody at this time. 

Police enquiries are ongoing.

Anyone with information regarding the sale and supply of drugs in the local area can contact police on 101, or submit information online at www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/ or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at http://crimestoppers-uk.org
