A GARDA operation in Ennis recently saw €6,000 of suspected drugs seized.
On Monday, February 28 at 4pm, the Divisional Drugs Unit conducted a search under warrant at a house in Ennis.
During the course of this search €6,000 worth of suspected Cannabis Herb was seized.
A male in his late 20s was arrested at the scene and detained at Ennis Garda Station. The suspect has since been released from custody and a file is now being prepared for submission to the DPP.
All the suspected controlled substances have been forwarded to Forensic Science Ireland for analysis.
This seizure forms part of Operation Tara which is an enhanced national anti-drugs strategy.
The focus of Operation Tara is to disrupt, dismantle and prosecute drug trafficking networks, at all levels – international, national, local – involved in the importation, distribution, cultivation, production, local sale and supply of controlled drugs.
