Police have recovered a substantial quantity of suspected cocaine following a search of a car in Newtownabbey, Co Antrim.
Shortly after 7.30pm on Friday, officers from Newtownabbey local policing team were conducting a patrol in the Mallusk Road area when they observed a parked grey Volkswagen Passat car.
A man inside the car was spoken to by officers before he got out and made off from police across nearby fields.
A search was then carried out of the vehicle and suspected cocaine with an estimated street value of £100,000 was recovered.
Efforts are ongoing to locate the man.
A PSNI spokesperson said: “Drugs have no place in our community.
“If you have any concerns about the use or supply of illegal drugs in your area call police on 101.
“You can also call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.”
