Over half a million euro worth of drugs seized across the county since January

Galway Bay fm newsroom - Over half a million euro worth of drugs have been seized across the county so far this year.

New Garda figures show that Cannabis is the most commonly seized drug - an estimated 515 thousand euro worth of the drug has been intercepted since January.

It's followed by 16,700 euro worth of Cocaine.

No heroin has been seized by county Gardaí this year, and the force says this is most likely due to the fact that the drug is predominantly used behind closed doors and in smaller quantities.
