The bag of drugs found at Ballyoran Park in Portadown.

Sinn Féin Councillor, Paul Duffy, condemned the drugs find and handed the drugs over to the PSNI.

Mr Duffy said: “A bag of drugs was found on Saturday morning in a garden in Ballyoran Park.

“A local constituent, who found the bag, contacted me. I immediately retrieved the drugs and brought them to the PSNI.

“It beggars belief that these were left in an open garden for anyone to find - including young children.

“The local community are disgusted.

“I would encourage local residents to continue reporting anything suspicious to the PSNI using the confidentiality telephone number.

“Together we must send a clear message to the perpetrators - drugs are not welcome on the streets of Portadown.”
