If you are planning a firework display, put safety first. Remember:

- It is illegal to possess, purchase, sell, handle or use fireworks except under licence. Only adults should light or handle fireworks.

- When watching fireworks, stand well back.
- It is an offence to throw fireworks in the street or other public places. Always - supervise children around fireworks.

Belfast District Support Team officers were on patrol in East Belfast today when they observed a male acting suspiciously in the Woodstock area of the City. The officers had grounds to search this male and a large quantity of suspected Class A Class B and Class C Drugs were located on his person along with a significant amount of cash. This 35 year old male was arrested for a number of Drug offences and conveyed by DST officers to Musgrave Custody Suite in order to account for his haul.

Whilst he was in custody an further search of his house was carried out by the team and a bigger haul of suspected Drugs was located there along with scales, deal bags and phones. A second 36 year old male who was in the address was also arrested for numerous Drug Supply offences and both males are currently in Musgrave Custody Suite.

Belfast District Support Team will continue to target Drug Dealers in Belfast, but we work best when the public work with us. If you know of any drug dealing activity in your area, call us on 101 or alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Be vigilant for opportunistic vehicle theft and burglaries

For many of us, our vehicle is one of the biggest purchases we’ll make, so having it broken into or stolen can be very distressing, as well as inconvenient. It's therefore important that you do all you can to keep it secure. It’s also key to do the same for your home, as open windows and unlocked doors give quick and easy access to opportunistic burglars.

If you see anything that you think isn't right, or looks suspicious, note as much detail as you can and report it to police immediately on 101, always 999 in an emergency.

We’ve listed a few simple steps below which you can take to help keep your vehicle and home safe and secure:

Lock up: Develop the habit of always locking your vehicle and your home, even if you're stepping away for a brief moment. Whether refuelling or quickly retrieving something from your house, it's crucial not to overlook security. Ensure that you properly lock your vehicle, especially if it has wing mirrors that fold in automatically when locked. Criminal gangs specifically target vehicles with extended wing mirrors, as it indicates that the vehicle has been left unlocked.Keep your vehicle in a garage: If you have a garage please use it and lock it. If you have gates, ensure these are also locked. Consider using an alarm for both your garage and gates.

Keep your keys safe: House and vehicle keys/ignition fobs should be kept safe and out of sight and reach. A common way to steal a car or van is to take these, either when left in the vehicle or from your home through a burglary.
