Suspected cocaine with an estimated street value £100,000 has been seized after a property was searched in west Belfast, police have said.

The search in the Dermot Hill Road area on Wednesday was part of an ongoing inquiry into suspected criminality linked to the INLA.

Drugs-related paraphernalia, a sawn-off shotgun and ammunition were also discovered.

A police spokesperson said enquiries are ongoing.

"This seizure is a demonstration of the Paramilitary Crime Task Force's commitment to tackle all types of criminality linked to paramilitaries, as we work together to rid our communities of the harm these groups cause," they added.
