Two men, aged 29 and 25, arrested were released on police bail to allow for further police enquiries.

In a statement, Sergeant Robinson said: "Drugs have no place in our community and, through Operation Dealbreaker, we will continue to tackle the supply, use and harm caused by illegal drugs.

"This seizure is significant but getting these drugs off the streets is only half the battle. We work with range of partner agencies to try to break this cycle and reduce the devastating impact it can have

"The harrowing impact of drug use on the lives and relationships of people remains a huge focus for us as a district.
