A man has been arrested after cannabis with an estimated street value of around £120,000 was seized in Portadown on Saturday morning.
Detectives from PSNI’s Organised Crime Branch made the arrest in the small hours.
Detective Sergeant Martin said: “Shortly before 1am officers were called to an address in the Portadown area.
“A sophisticated cannabis factory was uncovered in a property. Later in the morning a 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of a class B controlled drug with intent to supply and cultivation of cannabis.
“He remains in custody at present.
“The Police Service of Northern Ireland is committed to tackling the illegal supply and use of drugs, and will continue to investigate those who profit from the consequent misery and harm.
“Our investigation is ongoing and I would ask any member of the public who has any information which could be of assistance to contact police on non-emergency number 101.”
Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.
