"The Police Service, working in partnership with other agencies, is determined to remove illegal drugs from our community and arrest those suspected to be involved in the drug supply chain.
"These drugs would no doubt have been divided up and peddled on the streets by unscrupulous dealers who exploit vulnerable users for money to support their lifestyle.
"They do not care about the impact on the user, their family and friends or the Health Service."
The man remains in custody and is being questioned by police.
