Two men from County Antrim have been jailed for possessing ilicit and prescription drugs with an estimated street value of over £1 million pounds.

Trevor Lowry - who's 37 - and Anthony McGuigan - who's 29 were arrested in Ballyclare last year after a search was carried out on a vehicle in Ballyclare.

Mr Lowry was sentenced to 7½ years and Mr McGuigan was sentenced to 8 years.

Detective Inspector Andrew Hamlin said it was the result of a substantial proactive policing operation led by PSNI detectives against the supply of drugs within Northern Ireland.
