Three men have been arrested over a suspected cocaine bust worth a quarter of a million pounds.
Two men, aged 22 and 42, were detained when police stopped a car on the Dundrod Road in Nutts Corner yesterday evening.
As a result of the drug seizure a second vehicle was stopped on the Edenbane Road in Kilrea, where a 30 year old man was arrested.
Detective Inspector Andrew Hamlin said:“The three men were arrested on suspicion of possession of Class A controlled drugs and possession of Class A controlled drugs with intent to supply. They remain in Police custody.
“Tackling the illegal sale and use of drugs is a priority for police. Seizures such as this demonstrate our ongoing commitment to tackling the scourge of drugs in our society.
“The PSNI is committed to making Northern Ireland a hostile environment for those in our community who are involved in serious drug crimes. We will seek to identify them, arrest them and place them before the courts.
