Almost €10,000 worth of drugs have been seized in Laois in the run-up to Electric Picnic.

Gardaí carried out searches at two houses in the Stradbally area yesterday.

A quantity of cannabis, pending analysis, was seized.

Two men in their 30s were arrested. They've both since been charged and are due to appear at Portlaoise District Court later in September.

Gardaí are reminding festival-goers attending EP this weekend of their zero tolerance approach to drug use and encouraging the public to enjoy a safe, fun, drug-free festival.

The ever-popular Electric Picnic returns to Stradbally Hall, Co. Laois from 2nd-4th September.
