A MAN who was arrested after a drugs seizure in Letterkenny has been released without charge.
Earlier this week, the Donegal News reported that an estimated €14,000 worth of suspected cannabis was seized in the Cullion Road area.
Gardaí searched two residential properties during a multi-agency operation which included the Garda Armed Support Unit.
A man in his 50s was arrested after the seizure on Tuesday morning. He was detained at a station in the Garda North Western Region under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996.
He has now been released without charge and a Garda spokesperson has confirmed that a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
Gardaí from the Donegal Divisional Drugs Unit carried out the searches as part of ongoing investigations targeting the sale and supply of controlled drugs in the region.
They were assisted by the Donegal North Community Engagement Area, Dog Unit and Armed Support Unit.
The drugs seizure will be sent to Forensic Science Ireland (FSI) for analysis.
Investigations are ongoing.
