Two people, aged 27, have been arrested following searches of properties in east Belfast and Newtownabbey on Tuesday.
The man and woman were arrested on suspicion of a number of offences, including possession of a Class A controlled drug with intent to supply.
Officers seized a number of items including a quantity of Class A and Class B drugs, two suspected firearms and a number of electronic items.
Detective Inspector Craig said seizures such as this demonstrate the police’s ongoing commitment to tackling the scourge of drugs in society.
“Those involved in drugs criminality seek to line their own pockets at the expense of causing harm to others and preying on those who are vulnerable.
“I would encourage anyone who has information about the use or supply of illegal drugs to contact police on the non-emergency number 101. Alternatively, information can 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,” he added.
