Four men have been arrested and cannabis worth €1 million seized after a Garda operation today.
The Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau (GNDOCB) intercepted and searched two vehicles in the Kildare area at 6.30am this morning.
They found 10kg of cannabis with an estimated street sale value of €200,000.
A further search was then carried out at premises in the Kildare area, where a "sophisticated" cannabis cultivation operation was found.
It contained over one thousand mature cannabis plants with an estimated street value yield of €800,000.
The seizures were made as part of an ongoing investigation targeting serious organised criminal activity.
Four men, aged in their 50s, 30s, 20s and teens, were arrested.
They are currently detained at Naas and Newbridge Garda Stations.
