A stolen greyhound worth around €1 million has been found safe and well.

Race winner Clare's Rocket was taken from Kennels in Golden in Tipperary at the weekend.

The dog is owned by the Limerick-based Full House syndicate, and was ranked as second favourite for the English Derby.

Four men have been arrested - two are being held in Tipperary Town, while two are detained in Clonmel Garda Station.
