A quantity of suspected mixing agent, scales and bags were also seized.

"Drug addiction ruins the lives of local people and lines the pockets of paramilitaries who have no thought for anyone in their community.

"The Paramilitary Crime Task Force is dedicated to keeping people safe through disrupting and dismantling these groups. “If you see or know of anyone who is dealing drugs in your local area, contact your local police on 101 or call 999 in an emergency. Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 and pass on any details that you may have.”
