Some of the drugs found and (right) detector dog Alfie
Gardai in Donegal seized €16,000 worth of illegal drugs at the weekend with four men arrested as part of the operation.
Officers from the Donegal Divsional Drugs Unit were aided by the Revenue Customs Service's detector dog Alfie.
A series of searches and checkpoints took place as part of Operation Tara throughout the Donegal Garda Division.
In total, gardai seized controlled drugs with a market value of €16,000 and €4000 cash was also seized this weekend during a number of searches.
Gardai also lifted a range of paraphernalia associated with the sale and supply of controlled drugs. Four males were arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs for the purposes of sale and supply.
They were interviewed and released, pending analysis of the seized items and submission of a file to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
A Garda spokesperson said: “The focus of Operation Tara is to disrupt, dismantle and prosecute those involved in drug trafficking networks, at all levels. Under Operation Tara, individuals and groups involved in the drug trade will be the target of enforcement activity based on intelligence and latest crime trends.
“Anyone who may have information in relation to the sale and supply of controlled drugs may contact the Donegal Divisional Drugs Unit in confidence on 0749167100, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.”
