Two men have been arrested in connection with the investigation. They remain in police custody.

"Seizures such as this reduce the harm the supply and use of illegal drugs cause,” Derry City & Strabane Inspector Ian Ferriby said.

“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.”

He added: “We encourage anyone with information about drugs within communities, to tell us. You can speak to police on 101, or alternatively contact the independent charity Crimestoppers, who guarantee anonymity.”
