Laois Gardaí have uncovered a suspected drug-making operation in the Rathdowney area as part of an intelligence-led operation.

Gardaí are understood to have been deployed to a premises in a rural location on Wednesday, April 24 not far from the Kilkenny border. 

On arrival at the scene gardaí are understood to have been taken aback by the scale of the manufacturing process underway. 

The Garda press office said the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau seized €200,000 cash and a substantial amount of controlled drugs following searches in Laois.

Gardai say in excess of €200,000, €140,000 suspected cannabis, €10,000 suspected MDMA tablets and a substantial amount of counterfeit prescription tablets were seized. A sophisticated illicit pill making facility, including a pill press, was also seized. Garda HQ say all items of evidential value recovered will be sent to Forensic Science Ireland for further examination. A man, aged in his 50s, and a woman, aged in her 40s, have been arrested. Both are detained under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996 at a Garda Station in Laois. It said the seizure was made during follow up searches which formed part of the operation April 23 in Co Meath which resulted in the recovery of €2.4 million of cannabis by Revenue Customs Officers. The two men (50s) arrested in connection with the €2.4 million cannabis seizure remain in custody at a Garda Station in Co. Meath.
