Crack is a non-cannabis drug in the same seizure and is excluded from the cannabis figures.
The two men were identified only by initials in the police statement and are not named here.
No custody hearing, charge filing or court outcome was reported; the case was at the flagrante and investigation stage.
The police statement does not say whether the three warrants were served at separate addresses or what was found at each.
The claim of links to rival criminal organisations is described by police as still under investigation.
The PCMS statement and RCN67 each publish the same police handout landscape photo; only the landscape and one second portrait handout are listed as media.
