DS Megson added: “Disruption activity like this is absolutely vital in the fight against organised crime, it puts a significant dent in the profits of those engaged in drug supply.

“This setup was discovered in the heart of the city. If you see anything concerning where you live, or have information about organised crime, then I want to hear from you.”
