A man and woman were charged yesterday following the seizure of 250kg of cannabis resin at Belfast docks.
Mr Joseph Martin Begley (34), a newsagent, from Merston Gardens, Belfast, and Ms Catherine Susan Kearney (31), unemployed, of Dundela Street, Belfast, were charged with having the cannabis, worth £250,000, with intent to supply.
They were arrested on Monday after police stopped a car as it came off a ferry from Stranraer. The drugs were allegedly found hidden in the car's door panels. Mr Begley was remanded on bail of £1,000 and Ms Kearney in custody.
