Two men were being questioned by police in Belfast today following a sizeable seizure of cocaine in the city centre.

The men, aged 22 and 33, were arrested last night when a routine police patrol stopped and searched a car in College Square North.

Cocaine with an estimated street value of £45,000 was recovered from the vehicle, said a police spokesman.

Meanwhile a 27-year-old man has been charged with possession of a Class A drug with intent to supply following the seizure of drugs during a search operation in Lisburn, Co Antrim yesterday.

He is expected to appear in court at a later date.
