GARDAÍ in Donegal have seized a further €120,000 worth of suspected cannabis in South Donegal.
This brings the estimated total of drugs seized to €751,500.
This comes after Gardaí in Ballyshannon conducted “follow-up” searches after locating a “large scale” grow-house at an industrial premise in Donegal Town on Wednesday, February 21.
The drugs seized comprised 500 cannabis plants and 19.5kg of cultivated cannabis herb. The suspected drugs will now be sent to Forensic Science Ireland (FSI) for analysis. Meanwhile, Gardaí say investigations are on-going. “Gardaí in Donegal are appealing to anyone who may have information in relation to this growhouse and seizure, to contact the Donegal Divisional Drugs Unit on 074 916 7100, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station,” a spokesperson said.
