A man has been arrested after police recovered suspected cocaine with an estimated street value of £750,000 in Omagh.
Detectives from the Paramilitary Crime Task Force (PCTF) found the drugs when they searched a van in the Doogary Road area on Thursday morning.
The PCTF are investigating suspected criminal activity linked to the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA).
A 38-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of possession of Class A controlled drugs with intent to supply.
"We are committed protecting our communities by removing dangerous drugs from our streets," Det Insp Pyper said.
He added that the police are committed to tackling "all types of organised criminality linked to paramilitaries".
