Two men and two women have been arrested on suspicion of possession of a class A drug, possession of  class A drug with intent to supply and attempting to export class A Drugs.  They are currently in custody.

"Today's operation shows the hypocrisy of drug criminals who claim to be defenders of their communities, but in actual fact are destroying their own community by preying on vulnerable members of society and making a profit from the harm caused by illegal drugs. The PCTF will continue to robustly and proactively pursue those drug criminals who hide behind the guise of paramilitaries."
