Cannabis
An estimated £2m-worth of cannabis was seized
Police say they have made the largest single seizure of cannabis ever in Northern Ireland.

Drugs with an estimated street value of £2m were found on Tuesday in Carrickfergus, County Antrim.

It followed a search of a lorry at Woodburn Road in the town.

Four men were arrested following the 400kg find.

The head of the Drug Squad, Superintendent George McCauley, said the find was a "tremendous success".

"This is the single largest seizure of cannabis here and the PSNI are assured of more successes in the future," he said.
