The search resulted in 5 kilo's of cannabis grass being recovered in the boot of the car and the 33 year old male driver being arrested.

Follow up investigations involved a house being searched on Mount Anville Wood, Stillorgan, Co. Dublin, later in the day.

The search of this house revealed that the entire upstairs was being used as a cannabis factory. In each of the 4 upstairs bedrooms there was a pot grow system with high density lighting systems, reflective wall coverings, and extensive ventilation and air extraction systems.
