POLICE continue to tackle the illegal drugs in Fermanagh, with another drugs-related arrest yesterday, Tuesday (November 11).
The police operation took place in the Sallys Wood area of Irvinestown.
A man was arrested in connection with abstracting electricity and possession of a class B controlled drug, among other offences.
A police spokesman said: “A 25 year old man was released to be reported to the PPS in connection with theft, handling stolen goods, abstracting electricity and possession of a class B controlled drug.
“This follows a search at a house in the Sallys Wood area of [Irvinestown] on the afternoon of Tuesday 11 November where a number of items were seized.”
Last Thursday, £200,000 worth of cannabis was seized in the Florencecourt area.
That was the second major drugs bust by police in the last three weeks – and the ninth in just over two years.
The 23 year old woman arrested on suspicion of cultivating cannabis and abstracting electricity following a planned search of a house in the Florencecourt area on, Thursday, November 6, has been released on bail pending further police enquiries.
This find came just three weeks after cannabis plants worth £43,000 and equipment was seized in the Moorlough Road area of Lisnaskea.
And, back in August, cannabis plants with a potential street value of around £100,000 seized by police in the Newtownbutler arena.
