CO CORK, Ireland - Gardaí have seized cannabis with an estimated street value of €50,000 following a search of a residential property in the Cobh area of Cork.
The raid took place on Saturday, as part of Operation Tara – the nationwide crackdown on the sale and distribution of controlled drugs. Officers from the Cork North East Divisional Drugs Unit led the search.
During the operation, gardaí also recovered a small quantity of cocaine along with utensils linked to the mixing and preparation of drugs.
The seized substances have been sent to Forensic Science Ireland (FSI) for further analysis.
A man in his 30s and a woman in her 20s were arrested at the scene. Both were detained at garda stations in the Southern Region.
The man has since been charged and is scheduled to appear before a sitting of Midleton District Court on Monday.
The woman has since been released without charge, and a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
Gardai say investigations are ongoing.
