Man arrested in Omagh following £150k drug seizure

A TEENAGER has been arrested in Omagh following the seizure of cocaine worth an estimated £150,000.

The 18-year-old was arrested on Tuesday following the search of a property in the York Street area of Belfast where a large quantity of drugs were recovered the previous day (Monday).

He has been charged with possession of Class A drugs with an intent to supply.

Detective Inspector Shaw said, “This significant seizure has meant that we have removed a large quantity of illegal drugs from the streets and prevented untold damage being caused to individuals and the wider community.

“Drugs harm our communities and cause misery to those who take them and their wider family circle.  We will work with the public and our partner agencies to seize illegal drugs and prosecute those responsible.”

People have been urged to contact the police if they have any information about criminality linked to drugs should contact 101 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
