A cannabis factory with plants worth more than £7,000 has been discovered in Co Fermanagh.

Cultivation equipment and other drugs paraphernalia were also seized when police officers raided a property in the Wattlebridge Road area of Newtownbutler on Monday.

A 45-year-old woman and a 34-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of a range of drugs offences, including cultivating cannabis and being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug.

The pair were subsequently released on bail pending further inquiries.

PSNI Inspector Jonathan Gordon said: "I would continue to encourage members of the public with concerns or suspicions around drug cultivation or drug dealing to make local police aware.

"By working together we can strike a blow against those who would seek to bring drugs into our communities."
