POLICE were last night continuing to question a man and a woman following the seizure of an estimated £60,000 worth of suspected cocaine in Co Tyrone.

The man aged in his twenties and a woman in her forties were arrested in Dungannon on suspicion of drugs related offences, including importation of Class A controlled drugs and attempted possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply.

Police said a number of electronic devices were also seized during the operation. Both remained in police custody last night.

PSNI Detective Inspector Keith Gawley said: "A search was carried out at a house in the Lambfield Drive area this morning following the seizure of suspected cocaine with an estimated value of £60,000.

"The seizure was a joint operation with colleagues from the UK Border Agency, which took place in June this year in the greater Belfast area."
