Suspected herbal cannabis, legal highs and drugs paraphernalia was recovered from a house in the city.
£3,000 and a vehicle were also taken by detectives from the Paramilitary Crime Task Force.
Detective Inspector Hamilton said: “Today’s search was part of our ongoing proactive investigation into suspected drugs criminality linked to the east Belfast UVF.
''This search is further evidence that PCTF are proactively working to reduce the harm caused by drugs in our communities and we will continue to robustly and proactively pursue drug criminals who hide behind the guise of paramilitaries.
“We will continue to listen to the public and act on the information they provide us, to target those criminals, involved in the sale and supply of illegal drugs at every opportunity.
''I would encourage members of the community who may have information that could assist our efforts, to please get in touch. We will listen to you and we will act on information you provide.
''You can call 101, or you can submit a report online using our non-emergency reporting form.''
