Three men have been arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking.
THREE MEN HAVE been arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking after Gardaí seized heroin, tablets and cannabis with an estimated value of €700,000.
An “ongoing intelligence-led” operation by the Organised Crime Unit and National Bureau of Criminal Investigations led Gardaí to Rathkenny, Co Meath yesterday afternoon.
At around 3.30 pm they arrested three men – aged 31, 35 and 44 – and seized an amount of cannabis at the scene.
Follow-up searches led to the discovery and seizure of heroin, tablets and cannabis herb and resin, along with a large sum of cash.
Yesterday’s operation is part of an investigation into the sale and supply of drugs in north-east Leinster.
The three men arrested are currently being detained at Kells and Navan Garda stations.
