Two men have been arrested following the discovery of a suspected cannabis factory at a property in Craigavon on Tuesday 10th January.
Shortly after 5.15pm, officers received and responded to a report of suspicious activity at a house in the Carrigart Crescent area. At the scene a man was discovered in the roof space of the property alongside a quantity of suspected cannabis, cannabis plants, together with associated equipment.
The man, aged 19, was arrested on suspicion of offences including burglary with intent to steal, cultivating cannabis, dishonestly using electricity, possession of a Class B drug with intent to supply, and possession of a Class B controlled drug.
A second man, aged 32, was also arrested on suspicion of offences including burglary, cultivating cannabis, possession of a Class B controlled drug, possession of a Class B controlled drug with intent to supply, and using a motor vehicle without insurance.
They both remain in police custody at this time.
Inspector McCullough said: "We are committed to tackling the illegal supply and use of drugs, and will continue to investigate those who profit from the consequent misery and harm.
"Our investigation is ongoing and I would ask any member of the public who has any information which could be of assistance to police to contact the police on non-emergency number 101.
"Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime."
