“One man was arrested and currently remains in custody and we expect him to be charged and remanded today. Criminal 'groups' involved in the growing and distribution of cannabis are often involved in other serious organised crime.”

Police are urging anyone with information on the supply of drugs or individuals involved in serious and organised crime to contact them directly or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
