Five men aged from 23 to 69 have been arrested following the seizure of around £900,000 of Class B controlled drugs by PSNI and UK Border Force officers.
Three arrests were made when a vehicle was stopped and searched on Tuesday afternoon in the Glengormley area. A search of a property was also carried out nearby and two further men were arrested.
They are currently being interviewed in Antrim Police Station.
The five men aged 23, 35, 36, 37 and 69 were arrested on suspicion of a range of drug related offences including possession with intent to supply Class B controlled drugs, conspiracy to supply and importation of Class B controlled drugs. Four of the men are also being interviewed in relation to immigration offences.
Detective Inspector Kelly from the Organised Crime Unit, said a number of parcels destined for addresses across Northern Ireland were seized.
A house was also searched in the Dungannon area in relation to this activity.
“These arrests are in keeping with our commitment to tackle the scourge of drugs, and are a result of combined and ongoing efforts with colleagues in UK Border Force and Immigration.
“Drugs wreak havoc and devastation on individuals, families and communities. Those involved in the illegal supply of drugs don’t care about the heartache they cause. Indeed, their only concern is to line their own pockets.
“I would appeal to anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, about the supply of illegal drugs to contact police immediately on the non-emergency number 101,” said Detective Inspector Kelly.
