Major Police Operation Seizes Drugs and Weapons in North Belfast

Our local community is a safer place this week following a major two-week police operation in North Belfast that successfully removed dangerous weapons and drugs from our streets. Officers carried out 10 separate searches across the area, resulting in the recovery of firearms, ammunition, and a significant quantity of illegal substances.

During the proactive operation, police seized an estimated £15,000 worth of suspected cocaine and crystal meth, alongside £2,000 of cannabis vapes. In addition to the drugs and weapons, officers confiscated approximately £85,000 in assets, including cars, cash, and other high-value items.
