Early morning raid

An early morning raid was undertaken by the police in an inflatable who used forced entry with a crowbar.

Though the boat was empty the addresses of the men were obtained and their homes raided with crack cocaine, heroin, cannabis, firearm ammunition, cash and mobile phones being seized by police at an address at St Ann's.

Three people were charged with drugs and weapon-related offences, appeared in court and were remanded in custody.
