Gardaí have seized a quantity of cannabis and arrested a man in Co. Wicklow.

It happened when officers carried out a search at a house at Cherrymount in Avoca yesterday afternoon.

Around 150 cannabis plants with an estimated street value of 120-thousand euro were seized in the raid, along with a large amount of hydroponic/cultivation equipment.

A 30 year old man was arrested at scene and taken to Pearse Street Garda Station.

He's since been released without charge and a file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
