A man in his 20s was arrested on drug suspicion after police stopped a car in Strabane Saturday night, seizing suspected cannabis.
The Sperrin Neighbourhood Policing Team were on patrol in the Evish Road area when a vehicle came to their attention.
Sergeant Johnston said: “One man exited the car and officers gave chase, subsequently arresting him a short time later on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a Class B drug, possession of a Class B controlled drug with intent to supply, possession of a Class B controlled drug, and possessing criminal property.
“They also located a quantity of herbal cannabis, drugs paraphernalia, and a mobile phone.
“The man remains in custody at this time assisting with enquiries.
“This was excellent work from our local dedicated Neighbourhood Policing Team officers who suspected something wasn’t right and conducted a proactive stop and search. The drugs subsequently seized have now been removed from possible circulation and no longer present a danger to our community.
“We know that drugs cause nothing but misery to individuals, families and communities and we remain focused on identifying those involved in the drugs trade locally and shutting down their activities.
