One man (28) was arrested at the scene while a second man, aged 25, was arrested later on Wednesday.

A 61-year-old man was later arrested during an operation in Moynalty, Co Meath.

The 25-year-old man and 61-year-old have been released without charge, and a file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

The 28-year-old had his period of detention suspended while he was receiving medical treatment.

He is now being detained at Bailieborough Garda station.

Gardaí say the investigation is ongoing.
