More than €90,000 worth of cannabis herb has been seized by gardaí as part of Operation Thor.

Gardaí from the Kildare District assisted by the Regional Support Unit carried out a number of searches across Kildare from 7am last Friday to 4am today.

This operation consisted of 11 searches of private residences, and a number of arrests were made.
