WEIR WELCOMES CANNABIS SEIZURE IN BANGOR

Posted on: December 15, 2009

“I welcome the seizure today of 400 cannabis plants from a house in Raglan Road in Bangor. As equipment for cannabis processing was also seized in the raid, it is clear the nefarious activity that was being planned. Bangor Police are to be commended on their efforts, and it is clear that this was the result of many hours of police work. The disastrous effects of drugs in our community shows how welcome action such as this is. These drugs, as well as being a passport drug to even more deadly substances, have a clear long term detrimental effect on the health on those who use them. I urge everyone to give the fullest support to the PSNI in these efforts to protect our community from the scourge of drug dealing, and I urge anyone with information to pass it on to the police. While this case will come before the courts, and rightly we cannot prejudge any outcome, I hope that anyone connected with the drug trade receives the harshest treatment possible at hands of the judicial system.”
