A 64 year old woman has been arrested as part of an investigation into the supply of cannabis in Northern Ireland.

£100,000 worth of the drug was seized in Enniskillen last night.

She's been detained on suspicion of a number of offences, including possession of a class B drug and possession of a class B drug with intent to supply.

It's after two men were arrested in the Donegall Road area of Belfast where around £150,000 worth of cannabis was also found yesterday.

Detective Sergeant McAuley said: “The woman was arrested at a property in Enniskillen on Monday evening as a result of a follow up search following the seizure of £150,000 at a property in the Donegall Road area of Belfast earlier on Monday.

"A further quantity of cannabis with an estimated street value of approximately £100,000 was also seized in Enniskillen.

"The woman and two men, aged 62 and 74, all remain in custody assisting with police enquiries.”
