Police warn drug users after arrest in Belfast

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has issued a warning to drug users and dealers after arresting a male in South Belfast.

In the early hours of this morning, officers said the man was found to be in possession of a quantity of MDMA - commonly known as ecstasy - and other drugs.

And they warned other drug users that they "take possession of all types of illegal drugs seriously, no matter the quantity".

Police South Belfast are clamping down on drugs possession as part of Operation Dealbreaker.

Officers say they take drug taking very seriously and have urged the public to report dealers using the 101 police contact number.

Police South Belfast tweeted at 4.21am: "Male arrested. Drugs seized. We take possession of all types of illegal drugs seriously, no matter the quantity.

"This male had a quantity of MDMA as well as other drugs. Drugs ruin lives."

"Want to report drug use or dealing? Call us on 101.#KeepingPeopleSafe #OpDealbreaker"
