Detectives from the PSNI's Organised Crime Branch carried out a search of a flat shortly before 12.30pm. A number of items, including a quantity of suspected Class A, Class B and Class C controlled drugs, and mobile phones were seized and have been taken away for further forensic examination.
Officers arrested a 46-year-old man at the property on suspicion of a number of drug-related offences including, possession of Class A, B and C controlled drugs and possession of a Class C controlled drug with intent to supply.
The man has since been released on police bail to allow for further enquiries to be carried out.
Detective Inspector Kelly said: "Our enquiries remain ongoing. This search and seizure is a demonstration of our ongoing commitment to tackle all types of organised criminality.
"The supply and demand of drugs is a vicious cycle that we need to collectively break within our communities, as it feeds wider organised criminality.
