A man has been charged following a Gardai raid on a suspected drug den in Burnfoot, County Donegal.
Detectives carried out the operation at a residential property on 23 October, seizing a quantity of suspected cannabis resin valued at about €6,000.
In addition to the drugs, officers recovered cash exceeding £15,000.
The individual, described as a male adult in his late teens, was arrested at the scene under section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 and taken to a Garda station.
He was subsequently charged and granted station bail, with a court appearance scheduled before Buncrana District Court next month.
A Garda spokesperson told Donegal Daily that the investigation remains ongoing.
