Police have seized drugs worth an estimated £165,000 in Belfast.
It follows the search of a vehicle on Friday afternoon in the city.
A 36-year old man has been charged with possession of class B drugs, possession of class B drugs with intent to supply and possessing criminal property.
A 45-year-old man was also arrested and has since been charged with possession of class B drugs, possession of class B drugs with intent to supply and possessing criminal property.
Both are due to appear at Belfast Magistrates Court on Saturday 11th February.
A 46-year-old man arrested at the scene of the search has been released on bail to allow for further enquiries.
A PSNI spokesperson said: “Drugs of this quantity are invariably produced and supplied by organised crime gangs.
"They are criminals who prey on vulnerable people and exploit those addicted to their product for their own gain. The only thing they care about is profit.
“We will continue to listen to the community and act on any information they provide us, so I would ask anyone with information about any criminality to contact police on 101 or anonymously through the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111, which gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.”
