Searches carried out in Nenagh

Gardaí in Nenagh have carried out a series of searches at premises around the town in recent days.

A large quantity of cannabis was discovered during the course of one search in the Ballygraigue area last Saturday. The search involved members of the Divisional Drugs Unit. A file has been sent to the DPP following the operation. A smaller quantity of cannabis was discovered when gardaí searched a vehicle at Knockalton last Thursday evening.
