POLICE recovered drugs with an estimated street value of £6,500 after stopping a car in south Belfast.
A police patrol in Carryduff had signalled for a car to stop shortly before 1am today.
When the vehicle failed to do so, police pursued the car, stopping it in the Lisnabreeney Road area.
Following a search of the vehicle police seized a quantity of suspected class A drugs, with an estimated street value of approximately £6,500.
A PSNI spokesman said: "A 40-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of a number of offences including possession of a class A controlled drug and possession of a class C controlled drug with intent to supply and a number of driving offences including dangerous driving.
"In follow up searches, two properties were searched in the Greyabbey and Castlereagh areas, which resulted in the arrest of a woman aged 35 on suspicion of possession of a class A controlled drug with intent to supply.
"Both the male and female have since been released on bail pending further enquiries."
