A 23 year old man, who's believed to be a prison officer, has been charged with a number of drugs offences.

It's after an investigation into the smuggling of banned items into Maghaberry Prison.

The accused is also charged with possessing class A, B and C drugs with intent to supply and misconduct in public office.

He is due to appear at Lisburn Magistrates Court on Monday.

Two women - aged 55 and 26 - were also arrested, but they've since been released on bail.
