A further 55kg worth of cannabis with an estimated value of €1.1m seized in Limerick
Gardaí targeting a Dublin drugs gang have carried out 37 search operations and seized cocaine valued at more than €3 million.
Two men suspected of involvement in the gang’s operations were arrested during the “day of action” on Thursday which, according to gardaí was “part of ongoing investigations into the activities of a drug trafficking network” based in the east of the country.
Homes, businesses and vehicles were searched across Dublin and Wicklow by large numbers of gardaí led by drugs and serious crime units from south Dublin.
A search of a vehicle in Wicklow uncovered 44kg of cocaine valued at about €3.1 million. A man, aged in his 30s, who was arrested as part of the search is being held at a Garda station in Dublin under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996.
