Two people have been arrested following the discovery of €2,000 worth of cannabis herb in county Westmeath yesterday.

It follows the search of a house in Mullingar at around 3.30pm, when Gardai were attending the property for a separate complaint.

The area was sealed off for an examination.

Two men, one in his early 20's and a juvenile, were arrested at the scene and taken to Mullingar Garda Station.

They have since been released and a file is being prepared for the DPP.
