Almost €100K of cannabis found in woods

Almost €100K in cannabis was found in a wood near Cootehill yesterday (July 29).

Gardai took an estimated €96,000 worth of the plant after a planned search of the area yesterday at around 3pm at Drumgill townland, reports Northern Sound radio.

Some 120 plants, at various stages of growth, were discovered in a make-shift plastic tunnel. Heat lamps and drug paraphernalia were also discovered.

The scene was technically examined and samples have been sent to the forensic labs at Garda Headquarters for analysis but no arrests have yet been made.
