Officers forced entry to the address just before 9am today, Tuesday 24th July, to carry out a warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
A man was arrested on suspicion of possessing heroin with intent to supply and a woman was arrested on suspicion of supplying heroin.
A quantity of cannabis and cash and a number of mobile phones were also seized from the flat, while about 60 wraps of suspected heroin were found in a courtyard below.
Neighbourhood Sergeant Sarah Dinnis said: “We know that drug dealing causes misery for people living nearby, with users coming and going at all hours and anti-social behaviour.
“We also know that drugs fuel crimes such as shoplifting, theft from cars and burglary, with users even stealing from family and friends.
“If you have information about drug crime, please tell us online, or by calling 101. If you don’t want to talk to us, contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
“They never ask your name or trace your call.”
