Potential harm to the public has been reduced with the seizure of almost £800,000 worth of illegal prescription tablets, a senior police officer has said.

The drugs were recovered by police as part of a week-long international police action in Northern Ireland called Operation Pangea.

It is aimed at disrupting the online sale and supply of counterfeit and illicit drugs and health products.

Twelve people were arrested after 23 properties were searched earlier this month.

Drugs seized included Zopliclone, Pregabalin, and Xanax, as well as diazepam, Botox and weight-loss products.

PSNI Detective Chief Superintendent Andy Hill said over 700,000 illicit tablets were seized, which have an estimated street value of £785,000.
