Two men have been arrested as part of enquiries, which are ongoing, and both men remain in custody at this time.

Derry City and Strabane Inspector Ian Ferriby said: "Seizures such as this reduce the harm the supply and use of illegal drugs cause. We also know that those who are involved in the sale and supply of illicit drugs have only one aim - to make money at the expense of the misery and harm they cause to others.
