POLICE in Derry have released a man on bail pending further inquiries over a drug seizure.

He was arrested following the seizure of suspected drugs with an estimated street value of £2,000 following an incident in the city on Monday night, February 21.

A 45-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of driving-related offences, including driving with excess alcohol in breath and driving with no insurance.

He was also arrested under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 for drug-related offences including being concerned in supply of a Class B drug, possession of a Class B controlled drug with intent to supply and possession of a Class C controlled drug.

He was further arrested on suspicion of resisting police and assault on police.

The arrest was made when officers responded to a call shortly before 11:10 pm expressing concern about a vehicle that had left commercial premises in the Pennyburn Industrial Estate area.

Officers located and stopped the vehicle a short time later in the Glenshane Road area.

A search of the vehicle recovered a quantity of suspected Class B drugs.

During a follow-up search at a property in the area, officers seized a further quantity of suspected Class B and Class C drugs.

In total, officers seized suspected drugs with a street value of approximately £2,000.

Inspector Yvonne McManus said: “Thanks to a report made to us, our officers were able to respond quickly.

“Drugs have no place in our city and those involved can expect to feel the full force of the law.”

Anyone with information about illegal drug use or supply, is asked to call police on the non-emergency number 101.

Alternatively, you can submit a report online using our non-emergency reporting form via http://www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/

Or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at http://crimestoppers-uk.org/
