Three women have been arrested in Newtownabbey, County Antrim accused of importing drugs into Northern Ireland.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) and Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) worked to detain the women, aged 26, 47 and 48, on Thursday morning.
A 29-year-old man was also arrested after a suspected gun was found.
The arrests follow the interception of 11 postal packages sent from the Netherlands and Belgium between October 2020 and April 2021.
The drugs were allegedly being sent to three addresses in Northern Ireland when they were intercepted by Border Force officers who worked with the NCA and PSNI's paramilitary crime task force.
