Landlords urged to be vigilant after drugs busts

A senior Garda officer yesterday advised people renting warehouses to check out potential tenants who may be involved in the drugs business.

Chief Supt Pat Sullivan, Tralee, was speaking in the wake of four cannabis seizures in the country earlier this week which netted drugs with a street value of €2.2m.

On Monday, there was a €1.4m haul from a rented warehouse in Clash Industrial Estate, Tralee, and smaller amounts were seized in Garda searches of other buildings in Cavan and Roscommon. All the searches were part of Operation Nitrogen.
