Two men have been charged after police seized suspected cannabis plants with an estimated street value of £1.4m in the Strabane area.

The seizure was made during a planned search operation on Wednesday.

Following the seizure, police said they had dismantled what is believed to have been one of the biggest suspected cannabis operations in the north west in recent years.

The men, aged 28 and 24, are charged with cultivating cannabis, possession of a Class B controlled drug and possession of a Class B controlled drug with intent to supply.

They are due to appear before Strabane Magistrates' Court later on Thursday.
