Two men aged 27 and 37 are due to appear before Laganside Magistrates Court tomorrow on charges relating to a £20,000 (€23,530) cannabis seizure in Belfast.

The men are charged with possession of a Class B drug and possession with intent to supply.

A PSNI spokesman said the men were arrested after a car was stopped and searched on Colinview St at 5pm on Thursday and a large quantity of cannabis herb discovered.

During following up searches of two houses in the Poleglass area a quantity of cannabis plants were also seized. Police estimate the total value of the haul to be £20,000.
