The PSNI Fermanagh and Omagh District Support Team were carrying out patrols in the Bellanaleck and Derrylin areas on Monday afternoon (September 20) when a passenger in a vehicle in front threw a bag of suspected controlled drugs out of the window.
A PSNI spokesperson said: "The vehicle was searched and the occupant has been reported to the PPS for possession offences.
"Drugs are a one-way ticket to trouble, whether that be the police, courts or with your family."
The patrols in the Bellanaleck and Derrylin area were being undertaken as part of Operation Dealbreaker.
At the launch of Operation Dealbreaker in July, Detective Superintendent Zoë McKee, from the PSNI’s Organised Crime Unit, said the policing initiative would “cover every aspect of the PSNI’s drug-related operational activity, and reflects our organisational commitment to tackling the harm caused by illegal drugs and illicit prescription medication, and their supply, use, and misuse in Northern Ireland”.
She continued: "It is only by understanding the environment we operate in, and by working with partners and communities, that we can effectively tackle the hugely complex and challenging arena of illegal drugs supply and misuse in local areas."
