Belfast Magistrates’ Court remanded Jason Morrison, 34, in custody on charges of possessing Class A and B drugs with intent to supply, along with firearm and criminal property offences.

Police conducted searches at his Glenallen Street address on Monday, uncovering packages of suspected cannabis, Ecstasy, crystal meth, a sawn-off shotgun, live ammunition and £5,000 in cash.

Officers found 13 vacuum-packed bags of herbal cannabis in the attic and 1kg bags under a baby’s pram in the porch. Kitchen areas contained bowls of sweets wrapped in packaging and a syringe with suspected cannabis oil.

The living room held around 200 CBD vapes. A shed attached to the house yielded drug paraphernalia, sealed bags of herbal cannabis and 15 pink triangle-shaped tablets suspected to be MDMA. The shotgun, wrapped in towels, and a round of ammunition sat inside an IKEA bag in the shed.

A Jeep Avenger parked nearby and registered to Morrison contained three phones, four bags of suspected herbal cannabis, two containers of oil, plus shopping bags in the boot with 20 bricks of cannabis resin, herbal cannabis and quantities of brown and white powder believed to be MDMA and methamphetamine.

An investigating detective estimated the street value of the seized drugs at £450,000.

Morrison had been in Scotland during the searches but was arrested upon arrival at Belfast International Airport. District Judge Rosalie Prytherch refused bail until April 14, citing large-value drugs and risk of re-offending.
