Gardaí believe they have made further inroads into the sale and supply of drugs in Longford town after an estimated €20,000 of cannabis was seized in a planned operation yesterday (Tuesday).

 

Officers from the Divisional Drugs Unit discovered a large cache of plants, which the Leader understands were at an advanced stage of growth, at a private residence in the Ferafad area of the county town shortly after midday.

No arrests have yet been made but garda sources are confident of making further progress with detectives understood to be following a definite line of enquiry into the discovery.

The plants which were seized after being found both inside and outside of the house, have been sent for further analysis as part of the investigation.

An estimated €1,000 worth of cannabis herb was also discovered.
