Drivers in Westport on Monday morning were greeted by an unusual sight at the Newport Road and Castlebar Road traffic lights as a cannabis leaf appeared when the lights turned green.
The prank was carried out in the early hours of Monday morning, whereby cannabis leaf stencils were etched onto the traffic lights.
The matter was reported to gardaí and the town council and the stencils were removed by Tuesday. Local gardaí are investigating the incident.
