A 41-year-old man has been arrested during a drugs bust targeting South East Antrim UDA in Carrickfergus.
Paramilitary Crime Task Force officers searched a property in the Greenisland area this morning.
The man is being held on suspicion of possessing class A drugs with intent to supply and possessing class B drugs.
Detective Chief Inspector Kelly from the Paramilitary Crime Task Force said: “The arrest and search conducted this morning is further evidence of our commitment to end paramilitary organised drug criminality in all its forms.
“The quantity of Class A and B controlled drugs removed from the streets not only removes these dangerous drugs from circulation, it also will impact on the groups’ finances and ability to cause harm.
“I would encourage anyone with information about the supply of illegal drugs or information about paramilitary organised crime to get in touch with police on 101.”
