Man arrested after €40k worth of drugs seized in city raid

A file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions after a considerable quantity of drugs were seized in the city.

More than €40 thousand euro worth of drugs were discovered in Mervue in recent days.

Last Wednesday, as part of an operation targeting the sale and supply of drugs, Gardaí raided a home in the area.

During the search, officers from the Galway Divisional Drugs Unit discovered cannabis with an estimated street value of €43 thousand.

Also seized was an unspecified quantity of cocaine as well as drug equipment.

A man in his 40's was arrested and detained at a Garda station in the region, but he's since been released without charge.

A file is now being prepared for the DPP and Gardaí say investigations are ongoing.
