A man has been arrested after suspected cannabis worth up to £150,000 was seized by police.
The discovery was made after a vehicle was stopped and searched in the harbour area of West Bank Road, north Belfast on Friday.
The PSNI said officers discovered “a well-constructed hide between the rear seat of the vehicle and the boot” where suspected herbal cannabis with an estimated street value of up to £150,000 had been concealed.
“The suspected herbal cannabis has since been seized along with the vehicle for further forensic examination,” they added.
“An additional search was also conducted at a property in the south Belfast area.
“A 36-year-old man, the driver of the vehicle, was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a Class B controlled drug, possessing a Class B controlled drug and possession of a Class B controlled drug with intent to supply.
“He remains in police custody at this time as enquiries continue.”
Detective Sergeant Moore continued: “This search, seizure and arrest was conducted as part of our ongoing commitment to address criminality linked to drug importation, supply and use that often results in drug debts, drug addiction and drug-related deaths within our communities.
“We will continue to be relentless in our commitment to tackle the illegal supply and use of drugs, and will continue to investigate those who profit from the consequent misery and harm.”
