Detectives from the Paramilitary Crime Task Force have carried out searches of three properties in the Dervock and Ballymoney areas today, Wednesday 31st July.
The search of these properties is part of an ongoing investigation into suspected criminality linked to the North Antrim UDA.
Detective Inspector Pyper said:
“As a result of the searches, a quantity of suspected Class B drugs has been seized along with a number of electronic devices. The items will now be taken away for further forensic examination.
“Our enquiries remain ongoing and these searches demonstrate of our commitment to tackle all types of criminality linked to paramilitaries in an ongoing effort to rid our communities of the harm these groups cause and of their coercive control.
“We would like to thank the local community for their continued support and will continue to act on the information you provide us.
“I would encourage anyone with information about the supply or use of illegal drugs to contact police on 101.”
