A man has been charged over the seizure of 1.3 million pounds worth of herbal cannabis in Dromore.

The 42 year old faces a range of offences and will appear at Banbridge Magistrates Court sitting in Newry this morning.

The drugs were found on a shipping pallet inside an industrial-sized fuel tank last Friday.

Police believe it's one of the biggest herbal cannabis finds ever in Northern Ireland, and could be linked to a crime gang operating across Europe.

Offences include possession of class B drugs, possession of class B drugs with intent to supply and being concerned in the supply of class B drugs.

Two men have already appeared in court linked to the discovery.
