Two men have been arrested in Mayo and Longford after €2 million of drugs were seized.

Searches took place at five businesses and two homes in Castlebar, Longford, Mayo, Roscommon, Kildare and Drogheda on July 2nd and 8th.

Cannabis-infused jellies, cannabis oil-infused vapes and ‘reefer’ cigarettes containing HHC and THC, with an estimated value in excess of €2 million, were seized.
