Four people, including a 74-year-old man, have been arrested following an intelligence led raid on a property on Portland Street on Tuesday.
Crack cocaine and heroin with a street value of £18,000 was seized as well as £13,000 in cash.
A 34-year-old man and 28-year-old woman were also arrested along with another man, aged 25, who was found driving on Portland Street with £4500-worth of crack cocaine in his car.
Detective inspector Kevin Harkins from the Proactive CID said: “Thanks to intelligence from the local community, officers were able to identify the flat in question which resulted in a significant quantity of drugs and cash being seized from within.
“Further information was forthcoming from the public, which identified another vehicle dealing drugs in the area which the officers were able to trace and again recover a significant amount of crack cocaine.”
