Inspector Róisín Brown said: “Recently, we had received a number of reports of thefts and drug related offences from commercial and business premises on the Lisburn Road, we understand the distress this causes to the business owners, staff and local residents.
“We are aware of the negative impact the behaviour of these suspects has had in the local community. We hope these arrests will now put an end to the on-going problem in the area, and allow people to go about their day-to-day business and operate their premises without concern.”
