Gardaí recover €270k worth of heroin and cannabis

Gardaí have recovered €270,000 in heroin and cannabis following separate operations in Carlow and Cork.

As part of a planned intelligence-led operation, plainclothes officers from the drugs squad and the detective unit raided a property in Carlow town where they discovered a substantial cannabis grow house.

A Garda spokesman said the upstairs of the building had been converted into a grow house and contained a substantial number of plants. Most of the plants had matured, gardaí said.
