Two arrested after gardaí seize €30,000 worth of cocaine
A ‘substantial’ amount of cash was also discovered.
GARDAÍ HAVE SEIZED €30,000-worth of cocaine in south Dublin city as part of an ongoing operation.
Two men, aged 33 and 27 years, have been arrested and are both currently being detained at Pearse Street Garda Station under Section 2 of the Drug Trafficking Act.
The class-A drug was found during planned searches of several premises between 6-8 January. A “substantial amount of cash” was also seized.
In a statement released this afternoon, gardaí said these type of operations “use advanced analytical and intelligence methods to disrupt criminals and dismantle their networks”.
“Drug seizures play a critical role in targeting the livelihood of criminals and reducing their ability to carry out illegal activities. Drug seizures also help protect communities from the devastating impact of drugs and the associated criminality,” the statement continued.
