In a statement, Mr. Beggs said: “It is welcome news that these drugs are now off our street. I am particularly concerned with credible reports that I have received that some dealers in Northern Ireland are now lacing cannabis with small amounts of addictive Class A drugs.

Parents and cannabis users should be aware and must be particularly concerned at this increased potential of becoming addicted to Class A drugs through use of cannabis.

“If anyone has information about drugs in the East Antrim area, I would urge them to contact the PSNI on 101 or alternatively Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
