Three men have been arrested in connection with the discovery of a cannabis factory in County Armagh. 

The factory was recovered from a property in the Glenanne area yesterday following a proactive policing operation. 

More cannabis and other items were discovered during follow up searches at two properties in the Newry area.

One 42-year-old man and two men, both aged 37, were arrested on suspicion of various related offences. 

They have all been released on bail pending further enquiries. 

Inspector Quinn said: “We are committed to tackling the illegal supply and use of drugs, and will continue to investigate those who profit from the consequent misery and harm.

“Our investigation into this incident is ongoing and I would ask any member of the public who has any information which could be of assistance to police to contact the Police on non-emergency number 101.

"Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.”
