Police have seized suspected guns and cannabis during the search of a house in Newtownabbey.

A 42-year-old man was arrested a short distance away from the property in Devenish Drive on Friday and later released on bail.

Officers said they also recovered a flick baton and some electronic items.

They said the operation followed a "postal interception" of herbal cannabis worth about £11,000.

A PSNI spokesperson said: "Targeting drugs supply is a priority for the police service.

"We are committed to tackling the scourge of illicit drugs, and will continue to investigate those who profit from the misery and harm they cause our community."
