Police have arrested a man after drugs were seized in Derry.

Officers seized quantities of suspected Class A, B and C drugs, as well as drug-related paraphernalia on Friday, October 3, during a search by officers from Foyleside and The Moor Neighbourhood Policing Team in the Balliniska Heights area of the city.

A 43-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drug-related offences, including possession of a Class A controlled drug with intent to supply. He has been released on bail to allow for further enquiries.

Neighbourhood Sergeant Stewart said: “Today’s (Friday) detection and subsequent arrest is another example of how we are working hard to tackle the issue of drugs on our streets.
