Major Drugs Operation in Mid Ulster Sees Six Arrests and £15,000 Seizure

Police have carried out a major drugs operation in Mid Ulster, resulting in six arrests and the seizure of an estimated £15,000 worth of controlled drugs.

Officers from the District Support Team (DST), supported by Local Policing Team (LPT) and Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) colleagues, executed multiple search warrants across the district as part of a coordinated day of action.

Coordinated Operation Targets Drug Supply Network

The operation focused on individuals suspected of involvement in the supply of illegal drugs within local communities.

During the searches, officers seized a significant quantity of Class A and Class B controlled drugs. Early provisional estimates place the street value of the drugs at approximately £15,000.

Six individuals were arrested in connection with the investigation.

Police: Drug Supply Remains a District Priority

Police have made it clear that disrupting and dismantling organised criminal groups involved in drug supply remains a top priority in Mid Ulster.

Officers say illegal drug activity:

• Directly funds organised crime
• Drives violence in communities
• Increases exploitation and harm
• Impacts vulnerable individuals and families

A spokesperson said there is “no safe place” for those involved in drug dealing in Mid Ulster and warned it is not a matter of if, but when, police will catch up with them.

Public Urged to Share Information

Police have emphasised the importance of community cooperation in tackling drug crime.

Anyone with information about suspected drug supply in their area is encouraged to contact police on 101.

Alternatively, information can be given anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Officers say information provided by members of the public can directly contribute to future arrests and further disruption of criminal activity.

Investigations are ongoing.
