A scene was initially in place but has since been closed down and enquiries are ongoing, said Neighbourhood Policing Sergeant Christopher Darnell.
“Today’s warrant was only possible thanks to the information we received from members of the public and the work of officers in the community,” Sgt Darnell added.
“Because of this, we have been able to seize a number of items which are considered harmful to our communities.
“I would like to thank everyone who contacted us with information. Even something which may, on the surface, seem small and not as significant can help us build a wider picture and aid enquiries.”
Anyone with information about suspected drug offences should contact police on 101 in a non-emergency.
