Gardaí find €250k drug haul buried in woods

Teams of gardaí with sniffer dogs seized more than €250,000 of buried cannabis during searches of woodland on the outskirts of Cork.

The search was sparked by the arrest of a 35-year-old man following a surveillance operation at the woods at Kilclough, Vicarstown, 8km north-east of Blarney.

Surveillance on the area had been conducted by detectives from the Cork divisional drugs unit, based at Anglesea St, as part of a crackdown in the city and county.
