A Scarva man has appeared in court following the seizure of herbal cannabis with an estimated street value of £300,000 in Ballymena at the weekend.

He faces three charges – possessing a Class B controlled drug, namely cannabis, possessing a Class B controlled drug with intent to supply, and being concerned in the supply of a Class B controlled drug.

The charges came after drugs were seized from a lorry in the Moorfields Road areea of Ballymena on Saturday morning.
