A man was arrested in Claremorris on Saturday on suspicion of allowing his premises to be used for the cultivation of cannabis.

The Mayo Divisional Drugs Unit, assisted by local Gardai, arrested the man in connection with the seizure of €265,000 worth of cannabis plants on the 25th March.

In a second drugs seizure on the 27th April, Gardai recovered €432,000 worth of cannabis plants in a separate area of Claremorris.

The man arrested on Saturday was taken to Castlebar Garda Station for questioning.

He's since been released without charge, and a file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
