A TOTAL OF 12 scrambler motorcycles, two speed boats, three electric scooters and approximately €681,000 worth of drugs has been seized by Gardaí following a search operation in Dublin.

The vehicles and contraband were discovered during the search of a property in Dublin 1 at around 3:30pm this afternoon.

The search was part of an operation targeting the sale and supply of drugs, as well as anti-social behaviour, in the Dublin 1 area.

Investigators seized cannabis herb with an estimated value of €652,000, cannabis resin with an estimated value of €25,000 and cocaine with an estimated value of €4,000 during the operation.

A garda spokesperson said the drugs will be sent for analysis.
