A 26 year old has been arrested on a number of offences including the supply of class A drugs.

It follows a search of a property yesterday in Portstewart in relation to a nationwide investigation into Organised Crime by the National Crime Agency.

Speaking about the arrest, Detective Chief Inspector Cummings said: "This search and arrest are further evidence of the commitment of PSNI's Organised Crime Unit to tackling criminality linked to drug-dealing activity."

"Drugs cause misery to users and their families and the proceeds of their sale very often go to fund paramilitary activity.

"We urge anyone with information about criminality linked to drugs to contact police on 101 or anonymously through Crimestoppers charity 0800 555 111."
