Cannabis Growhouse Found In Co. Cork
Gardaí have arrested four men after the discovery of a cannabis growhouse with up to €500,000 worth of plants in Co Cork.
Four men in their 20s and 30s were arrested when Gardaí raided a factory at Springfield Industrial Estate in Youghal at 11pm Monday night.
An estimated 2,000 cannabis plants were recovered at the site with a potential value of €500,000.
Gardaí describe the operation as highly sophisticated with heaters and watering systems in place as well as drying equipment for the harvested cannabis.
The four were arrested on the premises under drug trafficking legislation, which allows gardaí to hold suspects for up to seven days for questioning.
Two of the men are being detained at Midleton Garda Station, and two are being held at Cobh Garda Station while Garda technical experts are continuing to examine the growhouse.
This is the second such operation discovered in Co Cork and follows the seizure of €200,000 worth of plants in Skibbereen last Wednesday.
