A 31-year-old man has been arrested in the west Belfast area this afternoon, Thursday 27th November, by officers investigating messages circulating on social media which appear to relate to illegal drug supply. 

Chief Inspector Claire Hamilton said: Tackling illegal drug supply is a priority for the Police Service of Northern Ireland. Drugs bring misery to individuals, families and communities. Our message is clear and simple: if you see or know of anyone who is dealing drugs in your local area, then contact us on 101 or make a report online via our website.

"Information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime."
