Two men have been arrested after more than €30,000 worth of drugs was seized as part of a planned operation in Ennis.

On Friday, Gardaí seized drugs in excess of €30,000 in value and arrested two men in their thirties during a planned operation in Ennis.

A spokesperson for An Garda Síochána has confirmed the operation was carried out as part of ongoing investigations targeting the sale and distribution of illegal drugs and associated criminal activity in the Clare Division.

In the course of the operation a number of locations were searched including a house in Ennis where cocaine with an estimated value in excess of €30k (analysis pending) was seized by investigating Gardaí. Two men were arrested and were brought to Ennis Garda Station.

Both men are currently detained under section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996 and can be held for up to seven days. The investigation is ongoing.
