Two men are set to appear in court following raids across the Armagh area on Monday.
Detectives from the PSNI’s Organised Crime Branch have charged two men following the searches which took place across seven premises.
The operation formed part of an ongoing investigation into organised criminal activity in the region.
A 29-year-old man has been charged with cultivating cannabis, dishonestly using electricity, and possession of a prohibited weapon.
Meanwhile, a 30-year-old man faces charges of possessing criminal property, possession of a Class B controlled drug, and permitting the production of a Class B drug on premises.
Both men are due to appear before Armagh Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, September 30.
As is standard procedure, the charges will now be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service for Northern Ireland.
A third man, aged 33, was also arrested during the operation but has since been released on bail pending further police enquiries.
Police have urged anyone with information on drug-related activity in their community to contact them on 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers.
