A MAN is to face a court next month on money laundering charges linked to a drugs raid.
The 47 year-old man arrested last month after cash and drugs were seized by police in Limavady.
Detectives from Reactive and Organised Crime Branch investigating the supply of controlled drugs conducted a planned search in Coolessan Walk, Limavady on September 4.
During this search a substantial amount of cash was seized.
At the time the suspect was arrested and interviewed about suspected money laundering offences.
But he was later released on bail pending the completion of further enquiries.
The suspect was interviewed today and charged with two money laundering offences involving more than £3,000.
These are possession of criminal property and concealment of criminal property.
He will appear in Limavady Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, November 18.
Detective Chief Inspector Colin Gillis, from Reactive and Organised Crime Branch, said:
“We are determined to tackle the scourge of illegal drugs and associated criminal activity in our community.
“We will act on any information provided to us by members of the public.
“People can call police on the non-emergency number 101 or provide information anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
