GARDAÍ HAVE ARRESTED a man in his 30s and seized drugs as part of an ongoing investigation in County Tipperary.

Heroine, amphetamine and cannabis with a combined estimated street value of €40,000 was seized when uniformed gardaí and members of the Divisional Drugs Unit searched a house in Thurles yesterday evening.
