Suspected Cannabis Growhouse Uncovered By House Fire
A suspected cannabis growhouse has been uncovered following a house fire in Co Tipperary.
The discovery was made after the fire brigade and garda attended the scene of a fire at a house in the Rathnavogue area of Roscrea.
A search of the house was carried out after the fire was extinguished. The search discovered a complex cultivation system of heat lamps, fans, a watering system and approximately €120,000 worth of mature cannabis plants. The suspected drugs will now be sent for analysis.
The fire caused extensive damage to the property and it is not known if any person was in the house at the time of the fire.
Gardaí are appealing for anyone who has any information, to contact Nenagh Garda Station on 067-50450, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800-666-111 or any garda station.
