A quantity of suspected Class B controlled drugs and a number of other items were seized and have been taken for further examination.

Detective Sergeant Denis McGaffin from Reactive and Organised Crime Branch said: "To date it is believed that approximately £450,000 worth of class B drugs have been seized by police in this investigation. I am delighted that these drugs will never make it to the streets of Northern Ireland. I would ask anyone who knows anything about the illegal use and supply of drugs to contact their local police station on the non-emergency number 101, or the independent charity Crimestoppers where you can speak anonymously on 0800 555 111."
