Cannabis with an estimated street value of £200,000 has been seized by police in Co Tyrone.

Police said they uncovered a “sophisticated cannabis factory” in the Dungannon Road area of Ballygawley at 3pm on Tuesday.

A 27-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion possession of a class B controlled drug with intent to supply and cultivation of cannabis. He remains in custody at this time.

A police 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.

“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.”
