Gardai have seized €3000 worth of cannabis in Co Tipperary.

Uniformed and plain-clothed gardai arrested two men, both 28, in Tipperary town after a surveillance operation.

They had stopped an Opel Vectra near the Deer Park area to search it.

Nothing was found in the car but a field nearby was then searched where the quantity of cannabis resin was found.

The men were then taken to Clonmel Garda station and were charged under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act.

Both men have since been released and a file is being prepared for the DPP.
