The man was arrested on Wednesday in the Antrim area and remains in police custody.

Detective Inspector Pete Mullan of the PSNI said: “As a result of today’s arrest, detectives have seized approximately £1million worth of suspected class B drugs.

“Organised Crime detectives will continue to protect communities from the harm of illegal drugs.

“This is one of the largest seizures of class B drugs in recent times and, not only have we stopped these drugs being sold on our streets, we have stopped the profits from lining the pockets of organised criminals.”
