Almost €180 thousand worth of cocaine has been seized in Loughrea.

It follows a search of seven properties in the town this morning.

At one, Gardaí found 2.5 kilos of cocaine using a Garda Dog - as well as €4 thousand in cash.

At another property, they found almost €4 thousand worth of cocaine as well as drug equipment - while smaller amounts of cocaine and cannabis were found elsewhere.

Two men, aged in their 20's and 40's, were arrested but later released - and a file will now be prepared for the DPP.
