Garda dog discovers drugs during searches of two houses in Offaly

The Garda Dog Unit discovered a quantity of drugs during planned searches in Offaly recently.

The Garda Dog Unit was in Birr on Saturday evening January 27 searching a number of premises in the town.

Gardai say the searches were carried out because the owners were suspected of being involved in the sale or supply of drugs. 

The black labrador, Rex, discovered €500 of cannabis in one house, and €400 of cocaine in another house and one male was arrested.

The Offaly Drugs Unit and Birr Gardaí were also involved in the search.
