The PSNI says more than £200,000 worth of illegal drugs has been seized in Limavady and Derry Londonderry.
On Tuesday, there were raids on homes in the Glens area of Limavady where Class C drugs were seized, with mobile phones and cash.
Later, in the same operation officers found five blocks of suspected cocaine worth an estimate £75,000 were found in an intercepted Honda Civic on Campsie's Clooney Road.
Two women were arrested on suspicion of a number of drug offences and they are being held in custody.
A follow-up search of a home in the Roemill area of Limavady found £120,000 worth of suspected amphetamine, £3,500 of suspected cannabis resin and suspected heroin with an estimated value of £2,000.
Detective Inspector Tom McClure of PSNI's Organised Crime Unit said: "This operation has struck a significant blow to a drugs distribution network operating in the Limavady and wider north west area. The removal of these illegal and dangerous drugs from circulation has undoubtedly prevented real harm in our communities and will have potentially saved lives.
"Those who involve themselves in the trafficking, supply and sale of any illegal substance should be under no illusion as to the commitment and determination of PSNI officers to identify, pursue and arrest anyone suspected of involvement in this criminality and see them convicted for their crimes."
