GARDAÍ HAVE SEIZED cannabis herb worth €360,000 and a shotgun in searches carried out in Sligo and Leitrim over the last two days.
A man in his 40s was arrested in connection with these seizures and is being detained in Ballymote garda station.
Yesterday afternoon gardaí seized a vehicle for breaches of road traffic legislation in Sligo town. This led to the discovery of a number of packages which contained 17.5kg of suspected cannabis herb (pending analysis). Gardaí said this is believed to be valued at €350,000.
In a follow up search in Manorhamilton, Co Leitrim, gardaí seized a shotgun and cannabis herb estimated to be worth €10,000. The searches at this location continued today.

Legalise weed and tax it. Put the criminals out of business. Reap the rewards for the State.

@LangerDan: yeah legalise weed what next cocanie crack heroine. Ireland has really good experiences with all these drugs they are illegal and drug dealers should be in jail

@john s: thats some ridiculous jump there Ted, nobody is campaigning to make sniff or brown legal.
Great work more drug dealers off the street hopefully the judges will not let the gardai down
@john s: cigarettes and alcohol are OK, I suppose.
@Frank McLynn: they are legal. But if they were invented today do you really think cigarettes in particular would be allowed ?
However drug dealing is illegal and drug dealers should be in jail
@john s: lovely bit of grass there if your looking bob
@john s: not for long… have another drink john
Might want to also include note of the off duty Garda that failed alcohol test whilst being the driver of a car involved in a collision?
