D/Insp Pete Mullan said: “Drug dealers don’t care about communities and they use violence and intimidation to maintain their control.
"Money spent on cannabis and other drugs is often used to finance criminal gangs involved in other criminality.
"We are committed to making Northern Ireland a hostile environment for those involved in the drugs trade and those who are involved in the drugs trade, or anyone tempted to become involved, should be under no illusion - we will seek to identify them, arrest them and place them before the courts."
