A 38-year-old woman has been arrested after suspected Class B drugs with an estimated street value of £200,000 were seized at George Best Belfast City Airport.

It happened on Saturday after an air passenger was detected with cannabis in their luggage, police said.

The woman was arrested on suspicion of possession of a Class B controlled drug with intent to supply and remains in custody.

Det Insp Kelly said it was a “great example of partnership work conducted by agencies within the Organised Crime Task Force (OCTF)”.

“We are aware organised criminal groups seek to exploit any route into Northern Ireland to distribute drugs and profiteer from their criminality,” Det Insp Kelly said.

“The Police Service of Northern Ireland and our law enforcement partners within OCTF continue to detect and deter these groups from operating here.”
