As part of an on-going intelligence led operation targeting the illegal sale and supply of controlled drugs in the Kerry area, Gardaí have seized cannabis and arrested a male.
Gardai assisted by the Garda Dog Unit carried out a planned search of a house in Ballyroe, Tralee this morning. During the course of the search cannabis herb with an estimated street value of up to €40,000 (pending analysis), a quantity of suspected amphetamine, a stun gun and drug paraphernalia were located.
A male in his 30’s was arrested at the scene and is currently detained under the provisions of Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996 at Tralee Garda Station.
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.
