TWO men were arrested after gardaí seized €105,000 of suspected cocaine near the border in Co Donegal.

Gardaí said the drugs were found as a result of an intelligence-led operation in Lifford on Friday, when a vehicle was stopped at a checkpoint in the Drumbuoy area.

Around 1.5 kilos of suspected cocaine in a plastic bag was discovered concealed inside a clothes bag in the boot of the vehicle.

Two men in their 20s were arrested and were being questioned by gardaí.
