"We know that the local community want us to tackle the issue of drugs and these recent seizures are further commitment of our determination to do so.
"I would like to thank the public for their continued support and would appeal to anyone who has any information in relation to illegal drugs, to contact local police on the new non-emergency number 101 or, alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
