€120,000 of ecstasy seized in Mitchelstown

A huge seizure of ecstasy tablets in North Cork follows a joint operation by gardaí and customs officers.

The tablets, with a street value of €120,000, were seized at a property in Mitchelstown, at Captain Keane’s Grove, last Thursday.

Garda sources said some of the tablets might have been destined for sale at the Indiependence music festival, which will attract thousands of people to the town between July 29 and August 1.
