Three men have been arrested following drug seizures in Castlewellan.
Suspected heroin and diazepam tablets were found when a 31-year-old and a 42-year-old man were stopped in car last night.
A follow up search at a nearby property resulted in suspected heroin and prescription drugs being recovered and a 60-year-old suspect being detained.
All three remain in custody.
Sergeant Barry Moore said: “This seizure again demonstrates our commitment to tackling the scourge of drugs in our communities and to eradicating the pain and harm they cause.
"We continue to target criminals who seek to gain from the illegal drugs trade and from the misfortune of others.
"Any information we receive is acted upon and I would encourage anyone with information to report it to police to assist us in our efforts.
"Police can be contacted on 101 or alternatively information can be given anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
