The PSNI has issued a warning to drugs dealers in Derry after a major seizure in the city.
Two men were arrested after around £200,000 worth of suspected cocaine was seized.
Officers from Derry City & Strabane District Support Team (DST) were patrolling the city on Sunday evening when they stopped a car being driven suspiciously.
A search of the vehicle uncovered suspected drugs, thought to be cocaine.
The discovery prompted officers to carry out two house searches in the Durrow Park and Kular Court areas of the Bogside where they uncovered suspected cocaine.

A spokesperson for the PSNI said:
“The DST investigation is still going on with a further arrest made and more to follow.
“This signifant haul was destined for the people of our City and wider and has now been taken off the streets.
“The message is clear. Drug Dealers we are coming to get you.”
