More than 70 people have been charged in connection with a £15m drug manufacturing operation in Northern Ireland.
A total of 103 separate cannabis factories have been uncovered by the PSNI so far this year, with around 27,000 plants and 186kg of herbal cannabis seized.
Police are investigating a possible link to international crime gangs.
PSNI Chief Inspector Peter Moore said detectives believe the drugs were being manufactured for a market outside Northern Ireland and may have been bound for the illegal street trade overseas.
