SUSPECTED drugs with an estimated street value of £640,000 have been seized by police in Co Armagh.

Herbal cannabis and drug-related paraphernalia were found during a planned searched of a property in the Newry Road area yesterday.

Two men aged 44 and a third man aged 42 were arrested on suspicion of a number of drug-related offences, including possession of a Class B controlled drug and possession of a Class B controlled drug with intent to supply.

All three men remained in police custody last night.

"We know that drugs can ruin lives and line the pockets of organised criminals, and we are determined to disrupt these criminal gangs."
