A substantial quantity of suspected cocaine, an expensive watch and a high value car has been seized in Belfast.
It follows the search of a property in the Braniel area as part of a probe into criminality linked to the East Belfast UVF.
A 36-year-old man has been arrested.
He is suspected of being in possession of a Class A drug, possession of a Class A Drug with Intent to Supply and possession of criminal property.
Detective Inspector Hamilton said: “This is the third search in an ongoing operation to tackle the harm caused by drug dealers linked to East Belfast UVF this week.
"These drug criminals, who hide behind the badge of paramilitaries are a scourge on society. They prey on vulnerable members of our community to line their own pockets, leaving a trail of misery in their wake.
“Information from members of the community is key to enabling us to gather an accurate picture of what is happening in our local communities.
"We are committed to making Northern Ireland a hostile environment to those engaged in drug dealing. I would reassure the public that we will continue to listen to the community and act on information they provide.
“If you have any information you can call 101".
