A PSNI spokesperson said: “The items have since been removed for further forensic examination as enquiries remain ongoing.

“A 34-year-old man was arrested at the property on suspicion of possession of a Class A drug with intent to supply, possession of a Class A controlled drug, and a number of other related offences.

“He remains in custody at this time as the investigation continues. Drug supply and misuse is a vicious cycle that we need to collectively break, and we all have a part to play.

“I would encourage anyone with information about the supply or use of illegal drugs to contact police on 101.”

The 34-year-old has since been released on bail pending further enquiries.
