Two men have been arrested after 300,000 euro worth of cannabis was found following searches in Tipperary and Carlow.
The operation took place shortly before 11am yesterday, and targeted organised crime in the area.
It began with Gardai stopping a vehicle on the M7, where around 100,000 euro worth of cannabis was discovered hidden in the boot.
The two men who were in the car at the time were arrested and taken to Nenagh Garda Station for questioning. Later, follow up searches at a residence on the Tullow Road in Carlow uncovered more cannabis, worth approximately 200,000 euro.
The two arrested males, aged in their 40s and 30s, are currently being detained at Nenagh Garda Station and investigations are ongoing.
