A man has been charged with a series of drugs offences after cash worth around £250,000 and cocaine valued at £100,000 were seized from a car in Co Down.
Shortly after 8.35am on Saturday, PSNI officers stopped and searched a black Seat Leon that was travelling along the A1 southbound between Hillsborough and Dromore.
A 24-year-old man arrested during the operation has now been charged.
Following the search of the car, police carried out follow-up searches in the west Belfast area, leading to the seizure of further cash and quantities of cocaine.
The accused has been charged with possession of a class A controlled drug with intent to supply, two counts of possession of a class A controlled drug and three counts of possessing criminal property.
He is due to appear before Lisburn Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
A 21-year-old woman also arrested on suspicion of drugs offences on Saturday has been released on bail pending further police inquiries.
