MAGINNESS
WELCOMES PSNI DRUGS HAUL - 1st August 2009
SDLP
North Belfast MLA Alban Maginness has welcomed the seizure of
a substantial amount of ecstasy tablets at a house on York Road
on Saturday by police.
He
said: “I welcome potentially fatal drugs being taken out
of circulation. Ecstasy tablets and their distribution pose a
considerable risk to people in North Belfast, not least our teenagers
and young children, who are taking risks at a considerably young
age.
“I’m
glad the PSNI has hit these drug pushers where it hurts –their
pockets- and I urge anybody with information surrounding the manufacture
and distribution of class A drugs in our local community to pass
it to the police.
“Drugs
pose a huge risk to our community. Hopefully this find will tell
those who peddle in its profit that their actions will not be
tolerated.”
