A further £150,000 has been seized in County Tyrone as part of a follow-up to an operation which saw cash and drugs recovered from a vehicle at Moy.
Following on from the arrest of a man and the seizure on Friday afternoon, PSNI Organised Crime Branch detectives conducted a further search at a property in the Mid Ulster area.
The activity is part of an ongoing proactive policing operation targeting organised crime groups involved in the supply of drugs.
Detective Inspector Sweeney said: “Following a follow-up search at a property in the Cookstown area, we seized approximately £150,000 in cash and a small quantity of cocaine.
“Earlier, following the initial search of a vehicle in the Moy area, we seized approximately £100,000 in cash and a small quantity of cocaine.
“A 45-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of criminal property and possession of a Class A controlled drug. He remains in custody at this time.”
The man has since been released on police bail pending further enquiries.
Detective Inspector Sweeney added: “I would reiterate my appeal to anyone who might have any information or concerns around the supply of illegal drugs or criminal activity to contact us on 101.”
