A man has been arrested following the discovery of cannabis worth around £200,000.

Detectives from the PSNI’s Organised Crime Branch made the arrest in Ballygawley yesterday afternoon, Tuesday, December 3.

Detective Sergeant Monaghan said: “Shortly before 3pm officers were called to an address in the Dungannon Road area.

“A sophisticated cannabis factory was uncovered and a 27-year-old man was arrested on suspicion possession of a class b controlled drug with intent to supply and cultivation of cannabis.

“He remains in custody at this time.

“The PSNI is 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 is ongoing and I would ask any member of the public who has any information which could be of assistance to contact police on non-emergency number 101.”
