Police in north Belfast have recovered £100,000 worth of cocaine following the search of a vehicle in the vicinity of the Oldpark area.
Chief Inspector Fox said: “Shortly after 4pm on Wednesday (5th January), Neighbourhood Policing Team officers out on proactive patrol recovered a vehicle abandoned in the Oldpark Road area.
“Officers searched the vehicle and a large quantity of suspected cocaine was recovered.
“Drugs harm our communities and cause death and destruction to those who take them, leaving families and friends devastated through tragedy.
"This is an excellent seizure of harmful drugs taken off the streets through good, visible, proactive community-led policing.
“We will continue to work with the public and our partner agencies to seize illegal drugs and prosecute those responsible.
“Anyone with information about any criminality linked to drugs should contact police on 101 or anonymously through the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111, which gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.”
