Detective Sergeant Martin said: “We conducted a proactive search operation of a house in the Crocknamohil Road area of Draperstown and recovered a quantity of class A controlled drug and drugs paraphernalia.
“A 42-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drug related offences and he has been released on bail to allow for further enquiries.
“During a separate search of a property in the Draperstown Road area of Tobermore, a quantity of class A and Class B controlled drugs was seized, along with a number of high values watches and quantities of cash.
“A 28-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drug related offences, he remains in custody at this time.
“Our officers will continue to protect communities from the harm of illegal drugs. As a result of these excellent proactive police operations, a large quantity of suspected dangerous controlled drugs are now safely off our streets.
“Drugs have no place in our community and I am making a direct appeal to anyone with information about the illicit supply, possession or misuse of drugs to contact police on the non-emergency number 101, or submit a report online using the non-emergency reporting form via www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/.
