Reports are that officers from the Firearms and Narcotics Investigation Division, FNID, within the Counter Terrorism and Organised Crime Investigation Branch, conducted an anti-narcotics operation at the premises. 

Cops reportedly found several knitted bags containing a substance believed to be cocaine.
