Drugs seizures in Nenagh
Gardaí have made a number of drug-related arrests in Nenagh over recent days.
On Tuesday of last week the Divisional Drugs Unit searched a youth on the Borrisokane Road and found a quantity of tablets in his possession. The search was reportedly carried out after gardaí observed items being passed from one person to the other.
On the same date at Tullaheady, the Divisional Drugs Unit stopped and searched a car and found an estimated €30 worth of cannabis herb. A house in Yewston was searched last Sunday and cocaine valued at around €70 was discovered. It is understood that the discovery was made after gardaí became suspicious of a car in the area.
Meanwhile in Roscrea, gardaí intercepted two males who were observed carrying iron bars in the Railway View area. It is thought they may have been on their way to another disturbance in the town at the time. A file is being prepared for the DPP.
