Blueball suspects released by Gardai

Three foreign nationals who were arrested after equipment was seized in Blueball on Friday morning have been released without charge.

At around 10 o'clock that morning, two other men in their 20s were arrested in the same area. All three were detained at Tullamore Garda Station before being released without charge. A file is being prepared for the DPP.

The garda investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact gardai on 057 9327600.
