Two arrested as suspected gun and drugs are seized during Antrim and Derry searches

Detectives have recovered a suspected firearm and large quantity of suspected Class B drugs as part of an operation in which a number of searches were conducted in Derry and Antrim.

The operation involved three searches at addresses in Derry, during which the drugs with an estimated street value of £17,000 were found, and one search in Antrim, during which the suspected weapon was seized. As the investigation continues, the suspected firearm will now be the subject of forensic testing.
