As part of a rural crime operation on Friday afternoon, the District Support Team observed a vehicle acting suspiciously on the Irvinestown Road.

After speaking to the driver, the team carried out a search, where they noticed empty bags with traces of white powder and a rolled bank note with white powder.

 

In a first for the district and potentially in the PSNI, the team used the new roadside drug wipe test which returned positive results for cocaine and cannabis in the driver’s system.
