As part of on-going intelligence-led operations targeting the sale and supply of drugs in County Leitrim An Garda Siochana has seized cannabis plants and arrested a male.
Gardai from the Leitrim Drugs unit assisted by local units from Carrick-On-Shannon and Mohill carried out a planned search of a house at Church Manor, Carrigallen, Co. Leitrim this morning.
Cannabis plants with an estimated street value of up to €300,000 (pending analysis) were discovered during the search. A 43 year old male was arrested at the scene and is currently detained at Carrick–On-Shannon Garda Station under the provisions of Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996.
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.
