A 27-year-old man has been arrested after police discovered a ‘sophisticated’ cannabis factory in Co Tyrone with an estimated £200,000 worth of drugs.
Detective from the PSNI’s Organised Crime Branch made the discovery and arrest in Ballygawley on Tuesday afternoon.
Police say they were called to an address in the Dungannon Road area just before 3pm, where they uncovered the factory and arrested the man on suspicion of possession with intent to supply and cultivation of class B drugs.
“He remains in custody at this time,” a spokesperson said.
“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.”
The investigation is ongoing and police are asking members of the public who may have any information which could be of assistance to contact them on 101.
