As part of an ongoing operation into the sale and supply of controlled substances in the Longford area, Gardai from the Roscommon/Longford Drug unit assisted by Gardai from Granard searched a house at Dalystown, Granard on the 14th July 2014.
During the course of the search Gardai discovered 118 cannabis plants (subject to analysis) with an approximate street value of €94,000 and one kilo of cannabis herb (subject to analysis) with an approximate street value of €20,000.
Four males (28, 29, 33 & 33 years) were arrested and brought to Roscommon, Longford and Granard Garda stations where they were detained under the provisions of Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 as amended.
All four were charged in connection with the seizure and will appear before Longford District Court at 10.30am on the 15th July 2014.
These operations use advanced analytical and intelligence methods to disrupt criminals and dismantle their networks. Drug seizures play a critical role in targeting the livelihood of criminals and reducing their ability to carry out illegal activities. Drug seizures also help protect communities from the devastating impact of drugs and the associated criminality.
