District Support Team (DST) police officers in Derry have made detections in recent days for drug-related and driving-related offences. 

DST officers on patrol on Thursday afternoon (August 14), were alerted to a vehicle in the vicinity of Culmore Roundabout shortly after 3.30pm. They signalled for the driver to stop, which they did. Officers subsequently conducted a search of the vehicle in which they located suspected Class B drugs. The driver is to be reported to the Public Prosecution Service in relation to the matter. 

The previous day, at 2.40pm on Wednesday, August 13 in a separate incident, DST officers detected a motorist in the city who, following checks, they discovered was driving without insurance. The vehicle was seized, and the driver will be reported to the Public Prosecution Service in relation to the matter.
