Around £180,000 worth of suspected drugs has been seized in Keady in County Down.

Police were called to a vacant house in the Kinelowen Street area at around 4:10am this morning (Saturday, 27th April) after receiving reports of a break in.

They say four men were seen breaking a window before entering the property and then leaving in a white Ford transit-type van.

Officers searched the property and seized around 3 hundred and 60 suspected cannabis plants.

Detective Chief Inspector Foster added: “We know that drugs can ruin lives and line the pockets of organised criminals, and we are determined to disrupt these criminal gangs.

"We are committed to making Northern Ireland a hostile environment for those in our community who are involved in the drugs trade and anyone involved in the drugs trade, or anyone tempted to become involved should be under no illusion - we will seek to identify them, arrest them and place them before the courts.

“I would appeal to anyone who has any information or concerns around the supply of drugs in their community to call us on 101."
