TWO MEN HAVE been arrested following cash and drug seizures in Co Westmeath yesterday.
At around 5.30pm yesterday on the Dublin Road in Mullingar, gardaí stopped a vehicle and €62,000 in cash was located and seized following a search of that vehicle.
The driver of that vehicle, a man in his 30s, was arrested and detained at a Garda station in Westmeath.
He has since been charged and is due to appear before Longford District Court later this morning.
Gardaí then conducted follow-up searches at two properties in Westmeath yesterday evening, and during these searches, around €20,000 of suspected cannabis was seized.
Quantities of suspected cocaine and ‘magic’ mushrooms were also seized by gardaí.
A second man, aged in his 20s, was arrested as part of these searches and remains detained at a Garda station in County Westmeath.
A garda spokesperson said investigations are ongoing.
