Third person in court over cannabis seizure

A third person has appeared in court charged in connection with the seizure of €500,000 worth of cannabis in Longford and Roscommon on Thursday.

Son Van Hoang (51) from North Vietnam, now living at Number 3, The Larches, Lisacul, Castlerea in County Roscommon, was charged with failing to have a licence to cultivate cannabis, and failing to produce adequate documentation. He was remanded in custody to appear at Harristown district court next Friday. Last night a man and a woman, from Vietnam and Hong Kong were also charged in connection with the three cannabis factories. The drugs were uncovered when Gardai raided houses near Ballaghaderreen, Strokestown and Drumlish last week.
