Thousands of prescription tablets seized by police in Derry

Police in Derry have made an arrest and located a quantity of prescription medication following a search at a residential property in the city.
Chief Inspector Craig said: “Approximately 3,000 tablets were seized during the search during a search at a house in the Slievemore Park area yesterday afternoon, Saturday 29th November.
“One man was arrested on suspicion of possession of a Class C controlled drug, possession of a Class C controlled drug with intent to supply, and being concerned in the supply of a Class C controlled drug.
“He remains in custody, assisting with police enquiries.”
Chief Inspector Craig added: “Police will continue to disrupt the activities of those involved in drugs supply of any kind including illicit pharmaceuticals, that bring harm to communities across Northern Ireland.
“We want to warn anyone considering buying drugs online, without consulting a medical professional, that these unregulated drugs are often produced in illicit, unhygienic laboratories and are made to look like the genuine product, meaning that they can be incredibly dangerous to take.
