Gardaí seized just under €280k worth of cannabis and arrested one person during a raid on a growhouse in Galway on Thursday.
As part of an ongoing investigation into the sale and supply of drugs, Gardaí in Galway searched a residence in Indreabhán yesterday.
During the search they found a growhouse containing 260 cannabis plants – with an estimated value of €208,000 – along with dried cannabis herb with an estimated street value of €70,000.
One man in his 40s was arrested during the course of the operation. He has since been charged and is due before a special sitting of Galway District Court on Friday evening.
The drugs will now undergo further analysis with Forensic Science Ireland.
The operation was carried out by the Galway Divisional Drugs Unit with assistance from the Armed Support Unit.
