District Support Team officers in Derry seized suspected Class B drugs and made arrests in the Waterside area of the city on Wednesday, December 17. 
Officers on patrol at around 2.50pm, as part of Operation Season's Greetings, stopped a vehicle and noted what they believed to be the smell of cannabis emanating from inside it. Upon searching the car under Misuse of Drugs Act, officers located a quantity of cannabis, which they then seized along with other items including mobile phones and cash.
Both male occupants of the vehicle were arrested and questioned on suspicion of a number of drugs offences.
One of the men, aged 22 years old, has been bailed to allow for further police enquiries to be conducted, and will return for further questioning at a later date. The 21-year-old man was released following questioning.
