A MAN in his 30s with an address in Milford is scheduled to appear before Sligo District Court on Thursday charged in connection with an €100,000 drugs bust.
A woman in her 20s who was also arrested in Ballymote on Monday was released without charge this evening and a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Gardai seized €80,000 during the operation in Sligo.
A follow-up operation continued for 18 hours after that incident and €20,000 worth of cannabis resin was later discovered at a house on the outskirts of Milford.
It took the total seizure of cannabis between the stop and search procedure in Ballymote and the search in Milford to more than 5kgs.
Gerard O’Connor, 32, from Dundalk but with an address in Milford was charged in relation to both seizures last night.
