As part of on-going intelligence-led operations targeting the cultivation of controlled drugs in the Limerick and Clare area, An Garda Síochána have seized drugs and arrested a male.
Gardai carried out a planned search of a house at Athlacca, Bruff yesterday afternoon. During the search cannabis plants were discovered with an estimated street value of up to €115,000 (pending analysis). A male in his early 20’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 Bruff 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.
