A man is due in court in the North tomorrow morning in connection with a drugs seizure in Belfast on Friday night.

An estimated stg£180,000 (€240,258) worth of suspected cocaine was found during a planned search of a house in Kilcoole Park in the north of the city.

The man (56) is due before Belfast Magistrates Court on charges of production, supply, intent to supply and possession of drugs.

Detectives say that other items, including a number of mobile phones, were also seized.

Detective Chief Inspector Colin Gillis said yesterday: "I know tackling the scourge of drugs is something the local community want us to focus on and this operation highlights our determination to do so."

"I would appeal to anyone who has concerns about drugs in your community to contact police. We will look into any report that we receive as we work with the community to reduce the harm caused by illegal drugs," he added.
