100 mature cannabis plants and 6.5kg of cannabis herb were found.

Earlier this week, the Police Department at Columbus, Indiana used this method to track down an individual that they believed was in possession of marijuana.

We’re going to take a guess and say that it didn’t work.

The Kerry Divisional Drugs Unit and Listowel District Drugs Unit have been far more successful with their methods though because a 42-year-old man has been arrested after gardaí seized about €200,000 worth of cannabis at a property in Listowel, Kerry.

The discovery was made at 4.30pm on Thursday as part of an on-going operation that was targeting the illegal sale and supply of drugs in Kerry.

The man remains in custody at Listowel Garda Station. The scene at his property is being preserved for a technical examination.
