Some of the drugs which were seized.
Police in Mid Ulster seized drugs with an estimated value of more than £80,000 during a targeted Day of Action on Friday, February 20.
The Class A and B drugs, which included quantities of suspected cocaine, ketamine and cannabis, were located during co-ordinated, proactive searches at multiple properties in both the Cookstown and Stewartstown areas, led by local District Support Team (DST) officers with assistance from Neighbourhood and Local Policing Teams.
Six people were also arrested on suspicion of a range of offences.
DST Sergeant Delaney said: "Disrupting and dismantling criminal groups concerned in the supply of drugs in Mid Ulster remains one of our district’s top priorities. Illegal drug supply directly funds organised crime, drives violence and increases exploitation within our communities.
The positive outcomes from this Day of Action, the first of many, demonstrate that when we have the right information, we can take decisive action to protect our communities from the harms caused by drugs.
We want to make our communities a hostile environment for those involved in the drugs trade and the message from this operation is clear: there is no safe place for you in Mid Ulster.
Anyone with information regarding drug dealing or supply can contact local police on 101, or online at psni.police.uk/make
Reports can also be given to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
The help and assistance of the public is crucial in tackling drug supply and removing dangerous drugs from our streets."
