Derry City and Strabane District Support Team officers were on patrol in the Clon Elagh area of Derry last night, (Monday, October 20), when they noticed a vehicle being driven at speed in a built-up area.
They safely stopped the vehicle at around 7.50pm, at which point the passenger, a 33-year-old man, attempted to make off from police. He was apprehended a short time later and found to be carrying a quantity of suspected controlled drugs.
Both he and the driver, also aged 33, were arrested on suspicion of a number of drug-related offences and remain in custody at this time.
Tactical Support Group officers subsequently carried out searches of their home addresses, which led to the seizure of further suspected controlled class B and C drugs.
Tackling illegal drug supply is a priority for us here in Derry City and Strabane district. Drugs bring misery to individuals, families and communities. Our message is clear and simple: if you see or know of anyone who is dealing drugs in your local area, then contact us on 101 or make a report online via our website.
Information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.
