Enquiries are ongoing to identify the males who ran off from the silver-coloured Audi A3

Police seize vehicle containing suspected drugs in Derry

Police seized suspected Class A and Class B drugs in the Waterside area of Derry on Thursday night (May 22). 

The seizure was made by officers from Waterside Neighbourhood Policing Team while on patrol at around 8.45pm in the Stevenson Park area where they observed a silver-coloured Audi A3 parked in the area from which males ran off from when seeing police.

A search of the vehicle resulted in suspected cannabis and suspected cocaine, as well as items of drug-related paraphernalia, being seized. 

Enquiries are ongoing to identify the males who ran off, and police appeal to anyone with information about their identity or whereabouts to get in touch.

At this time, police believe the same vehicle was involved in an incident of anti-social behaviour earlier in the evening on Trench Road where eggs were thrown at another vehicle at around 7.40pm causing criminal damage. 

The Audi A3 has been seized and enquiries are ongoing in relation to both incidents.
