The PSNI said in a statement: “Police are committed to tackling the scourge of drugs in our communities, and we will continue to proactively investigate and carry out searches linked to the drugs trade and identify those involved in this illegal activity.
“We have seen how the sale, supply and consumption of illegal drugs ruins lives, can devastate families and communities.
"The criminals involved don’t care about the wider impact their drug dealing will have on the wider community and public services. All they care about is lining their own pockets.
