LAST UPDATE | 6 Apr

THREE MEN HAVE been charged in relation to drugs seizures in Dublin this week.

One man was charged in connection with the seizure of approximately €3.5 million of suspected cannabis and cocaine in Dublin this week.

The man, aged in his 40s, had been arrested as part of investigations into the seizure of drugs on Wednesday, 3 April, in numerous searches in Beresford Street, Finglas and the Dublin 12 area.

He appeared before the Criminal Courts of Justice (CCJ) in Dublin at 10.30am today.

Gardaí carried out a series of separate raids across Dublin this week during which 10 firearms and around €5 million in drugs were seized.

Multiple arrests have been made while some investigations remain ongoing, gardaí said.

Two other seizures

Separately, a man in his 20s appeared before the CCJ at 10.30am in connection with the seizure of approximately €110,000 of suspected cocaine at Dublin Airport on Sunday, 31 March.

The seizure was made by gardaí and Revenue officers at approximately 7.40pm last Sunday after a man disembarked from a flight.

In another seizure this week, approximately €260,000 of suspected cannabis was found at Dublin Airport yesterday, 5 April.

The seizure occurred at approximately 4.40pm on Friday following the search of a suitcase.

A man in his 30s was arrested at the scene and detained at a garda station in the Dublin region. He has since been charged and also appeared before the CCJ this morning.
