Two men have been arrested and a quantity of suspected controlled drugs were seized when officers stopped a suspicious vehicle on the M2, police said.
Detectives from the PSNI’s Organised Crime Branch, supported by Auto Crime Team colleagues, made the arrests in the Antrim area on Friday.
A police spokesman said that officers stopped the 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,” the spokesman added.
“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.
“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.
“I would appeal to anyone with information about illegal drug use or supply, to call police on the non-emergency number 101.”
