A 56-year-old man has been arrested in Belfast following a drugs seizure worth £180,000 (€240,000).

The PSNI discovered what is thought to be cocaine, after a planned search of a house in the Kilcoole Park in North Belfast yesterday evening.

Detectives say that other items, including a number of mobile phones, were also seized.

Detective Chief Inspector Colin Gillis said, "I know tackling the scourge of drugs is something the local community want us to focus on and this operation highlights our determination to do so.

"I would appeal to anyone who has concerns about drugs in your community to contact police. We will look into any report that we receive as we work with the community to reduce the harm caused by illegal drugs," he added.
