Two arrested and £30,000 worth of drugs seized in Strabane

Two men have been arrested and £30,000 worth of drugs seized in Strabane.

The pair were detected by Police who were conducting a check point in the Lifford Road area shortly before midnight when they noted a vehicle turning and driving in the opposite direction.

The car was subsequently stopped and searched, with officers seizing a quantity of suspected drugs and other items.

Both the driver and passenger were arrested on suspicion of possession of the drugs with intent to supply.

Follow up searches at two addresses resulted in the seizure of more suspected drugs and other items including drugs paraphernalia and mobile phones.

The two men, aged 26 and 42, both remain in custody at this time.

Sergeant Karen McGuinness is appealing to anyone who may have any information about drug dealing to pass the information to police.
