Two men have been arrested after a drugs seizure in the Antrim area.

Police detained the suspects on the M2 on Friday night.

Detective Inspector Miskelly said: “Officers stopped a suspicious vehicle on the M2, close to Moneynick, just after 9.15pm.

“Five vacuum packed bags were located in the vehicle, four of which contained suspected cannabis. The fifth bag contained suspected Class A drugs.

“Two men, aged 36 and 49, were arrested on suspicion of a number of offences including possession of Class A and B controlled drugs with intent to supply.

“They remain in custody at this time.”

Detective Inspector Miskelly continued: “We are committed to investigating drug importation, supply and use that often results in drug debts, drug addiction and drug related deaths within our communities.

“Drug supply and misuse is a vicious cycle that we need to collectively break, and we all have a part to play.”
