An estimated €40,000-worth of cocaine was discovered in the course of a number of searches carried out by Gardai in Roscrea yesterday.
In total, four premises in the area were searched as part of Operation Overwatch, which has been set up to target people involved in the distribution of controlled drugs in the Roscrea area.
In addition to the drugs seizures, four men were arrested under drug trafficking legislation and were detained at Roscrea, Thurles, and Templemore garda stations.
Three of the men have since been released without charge and a file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
One man remains in custody in Templemore.
