The PSNI discovered the premises, described as being ‘filled with plants’, yesterday (Thursday, December 2).

As police enquiries into the seizure are ongoing, Detective Sergeant Robinson has appealed to the public for any information.

“We, as your Police Service, are committed to tackling the illegal supply and use of drugs, and will continue to investigate those who profit from the consequent misery and harm,” he said.

“Our enquiries into this incident are continuing, and I am asking any member of the public who has any information which could be of assistance to police to contact us on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference number 1077 of 02/12/21.”
