Cannabis plants with an estimated value of £40,000 have been seized by police in Bessbrook.
Officers responded to a report regarding a property in Ard Aveen Park on Sunday, February 8 and discovered a substantial cannabis factory inside.

Targeting drugs supply is a priority for local police and our officers are always on the lookout for any potential criminal activity.
