Gardaí disrupt drugs supply

Gardaí believe they have disrupted a significant drugs supply network in East Cork following a series of co-ordinated raids at three different locations, which netted them cannabis plants, cannabis herb and ecstasy tablets.

According to a senior garda spokesman, the raids were pre-planned following intelligence-gathering and houses were targeted in the Midleton, Ballycotton and Killeagh areas.

The biggest find was made in Ballycotton where the search of a house resulted in the seizure of herbal cannabis with an estimated street value of €60,000.
