Three men arrested after drugs swoop in east Mayo

THREE men have been arrested following another significant drugs find in east Mayo.

The suspects, aged 44, 27 and 23, have been questioned at Ballina Garda Station as investigations continue.

They were arrested after members of the Mayo Divisional Drugs Unit completed searches at two houses in Killasser, Swinford, yesterday.

During the searches cannabis plants with an estimated street value of €300,000 were discovered.

A number of weeks ago a similar find was made by the divisional drugs unit in the Charlestown area.
