There has been intense Garda activity in the Rathmullan Park and Hillview areas of Drogheda all day today.
Gardaí are carrying out a search of wasteland between the two estates as part of their investigation into the murder of a male juvenile in January 2020.
Local Gardaí are being assisted by the Louth Divisional Search unit, Garda Dog Units, Garda Water Units and the Technical Bureau from Garda Headquarters.
The Garda Press Office is issuing no further information at this time.
We are precluded from naming the murdered teenager due to a recent court finding.
