Detectives from PSNI’s Terrorism Investigation Unit have seized drugs after search in West Belfast.

Detective Inspector Adrian Brown said: "During a search of a house in Lagmore Avenue earlier this evening as part of an operation into the activities of violent dissident republicans a quantity of drugs were seized.

"We will continue to target all those involved in terrorist activity as their illegal actions only serve to blight the communities they operate in."
