A 36 year-old man has been charged following the discovery of around £1 million worth of illegal drugs.
Police seized the Class B substances following searches in Antrim yesterday.
The suspect will appear before Ballymena magistrates later charged with a range of offences.
They include:
- Fraudulently importing Class B controlled drugs
- Illegal entry to United Kingdom
- Possession of Class B controlled drug with intent to supply.
Detective Inspector Pete Mullan said "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."
