A man in his 30s arrested in relation to the seizure of approximately €12,000 worth of suspected cannabis herb in Gortatlea yesterday (Thursday), has since been charged and is due to appear before Tralee District court at a later date.
Gardaí arrested the man and seized approximately €12,000 worth of suspected cannabis herb in Gortatlea, at approximately 10pm, last night.
Detectives from the Tralee District stopped and searched a car in Gortatlea. During the course of the search, Gardaí seized cannabis herb with an estimated street value of €12,000. The drugs will now be sent for technical analysis.
The man was arrested at the scene and brought to Tralee Garda Station under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996.
"Our Divisional Drugs Unit and District Detective Unit had two excellent drug seizures last night in Tralee,” Superintendent Dan Keane said this morning (Friday).
"Both incidents highlight the commitment that we have in Kerry in arresting people who deal drugs in our communities. Drugs have no place in our towns and villages and I would ask that if you notice anyone selling or using drugs, or you believe they may be involved in criminality, to call us."
