€15,500 worth of suspected cocaine and cannabis was seized by Gardaí after carrying out a search warrant at the residence of a Clare man who failed to stop for them on Saturday afternoon.

In Ennis on Saturday afternoon, Gardaí attached to Ennis Garda Station arrested a male motorist after he failed to stop when instructed.

During a follow-up operation, including searches under warrant of a residential property in Ennis, approximately €15,500 worth of suspected cocaine and cannabis were seized.
