Detectives from Organised Crime Branch, working with District Support Officers in Newry have arrested two men in the Stream Street area as part of an ongoing investigation into criminal activity.
Two men aged 36 and 40 years old were arrested on suspicion of various drugs related offences. Both men remain in police custody at this time.
Detective Sergeant Martin said: “Police are committed to making Northern Ireland a hostile environment for those in our community who are involved in the drugs trade, or anyone tempted to become involved should be under no illusion – we will seek to identify them, arrest them and place them before the courts.
“Police continue to encourage members of the public with concerns about drugs or drug dealing to get in touch and enable us to investigate. The number to call is 101. Alternatively, information can also be passed anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.”
