A 22 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of drugs offences following a proactive search operation across four locations in Derry/Londonderry earlier today, Thursday 19 September.
The searches, which involved the Paramilitary Crime Task Force (PCTF), the Derry City and Strabane District Support Team and local Tactical Support Group officers, focused on drug criminality linked to the INLA.
A number of items including suspected cocaine, cash, electronic devices and drug paraphernalia were seized and will now be subject to examination.
Detective Inspector Pyper from the PCTF said: "We will continue in our work to disrupt those involved in criminal activity including drugs, and reduce the harm they cause in our communities. We urge anyone with information which could assist us to call us on 101."
