As part of on-going intelligence-led operations targeting the sale and supply of drugs, Gardai at Tralee have seized Drugs and made an arrest.
Gardai from the Tralee Divisional Drug Unit searched a house in the Castlemaine area yesterday afternoon. Cannabis plants and a small amount of cannabis herb (pending analysis) with a combined estimated street value of up to €6,000 were seized and a 30 year old male arrested.
The male was detained under the provisions of Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996 at Tralee Garda Station and was released without charge late last night. A file will be prepared for the Director of Public prosecutions.
These operations use advanced analytical and intelligence methods to disrupt criminals and dismantle their networks. Drug seizures play a critical role in targeting the livelihood of criminals and reducing their ability to carry out illegal activities. Drug seizures also help protect communities from the devastating impact of drugs and the associated criminality.
