A man has been arrested after an air rifle, cocaine and other drugs were seized in Co Donegal yesterday.

Gardaí searched a number of residential properties in the Inishowen area, supported by the Armed Support Unit and Dog Unit.

Cocaine, with an estimated street value of €25,000, along with other quantities of controlled drugs and the air rifle were seized.

A man in his 40s was arrested and held at a garda station in the north west.

He has since been released without charge and a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Investigations are ongoing in the operation targeting the illegal sale and supply of drugs.
