A file is being prepared for the DPP in the case of a €77,000 drugs seizure in Tuam recently.
As part of ongoing investigations into the sale and supply of drugs in the region, Gardaí from the Galway Divisional Drugs Unit searched a house in Tuam on December 17.
Cocaine with an estimated street value of €50,000, cannabis with an estimated value of €40,000, and ecstasy with an estimated value of €7,000 was seized.
A man, aged in his 40s, was arrested and detained at a station in the Garda North Western Region under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996.
A follow-up search was conducted at another house in Tuam, and a further quantity of cannabis was recovered.
The man arrested in connection with this was later released without charge, and a file is being prepared for the DPP.
The seized drugs will be sent to Forensic Science Ireland for analysis. An Garda Síochána has said that investigations are ongoing.
