Major drugs seizure in Delvin

A substantial quantity of what is believed to be cannabis and cocaine was recovered when gardaí carried out a raid at an address in the Delvin area on Thursday week last, May 22.

The estimated value of the drugs found totals €145,000, €25,000 of which appears to be cannabis, and €120,000 of what gardaí believe to be cocaine. The substances have been sent for formal analysis.

The seizure was on foot of an intelligence-led operation, and was made by the divisional drugs unit.

Break-ins

Meanwhile, also on that same date, gardaí received reports of the theft of €6,000 from a break-in at a premises in Kinnegad.

The break-in is suspected to have occurred at between 3am and 4am, and gardaí are appealing to anyone who may have noticed anything suspicious or who has any dashcam footage from that time to contact the detective unit in Mullingar.

There was also an attempted break-in to a house in the Sycamore Lawns area of Kinnegad that same morning, possibly between 2am and 3am.

The burglars failed, however, to gain entry to the house, a garda spokesperson confirmed.
