Last updated 26th Nov 2022
Two men have been charged with a number of drug offences by police investigating criminality associated with the INLA.
The men - aged 31 and 62 - were due in Londonderry Magistrates Court on Saturday morning.
A 23-year old woman remains in police custody.
The investigation centres on the discovery of drugs thought to be worth around £130,000.
Police said substantial quantities of cannabis and suspected class A drugs with an estimated street value of more than £130,000 were recovered during searches in the north west of Northern Ireland.
The searches were carried out by members of the PSNI's Paramilitary Crime Task Force investigating criminality associated with the INLA.
A PSNI spokesman said: "This is a significant seizure of controlled drugs which have now been safely removed from our streets and community.
"I would encourage anyone with information about the supply or use of illegal drugs to contact police on 101 or submit a report online."
This can be done using the non-emergency form on the "make a report" section of the PSNI website, or by contacting Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through its website.
