Two men being questioned in connection with a major fuel laundering seizure in Loughrea and elsewhere have been released by Gardai.
The two were arrested on Thursday evening following a series of searches at five filling stations in Loughrea, Dublin, Westmeath, Offaly and Roscommon.
Over 6 thousand litres of fuel were seized from Fill-Up filling station at The Hill in Loughrea as part of the national operation – representing a loss to the exchequer of around 3 thousand euro.
A man in his 30s was released from custody in Monaghan last evening while a man in his 40s was also released from Roscommon Garda Station.
A file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The Fill-Up filling station in Loughrea remains closed this afternoon while the investigation continues.
