GARDAÍ HAVE ARRESTED and charged two men after €215,000 worth of drugs were seized during a search operation carried out this week.
As part of an ongoing operation targeting the sale and supply of drugs in the Gorey area, a number of properties were searched by Gardaí.
During the course of one search, Gardaí seized around 5kg of suspected cannabis with an estimated street value of €100,000.
A quantity of suspected cocaine was also seized with an estimated street value of €40,000.
A man, aged in his 40s, was arrested at the scene and taken to Gorey Garda Station where he was detained under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996.
In a second search, Gardaí seized cocaine, cannabis, and cannabis plants with an estimated street value of €75,000.
A man and a woman, both aged in their 20s, were arrested at the scene and taken to Enniscorthy Garda Station where they were both detained under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996.
All of the drugs seized will be sent to Forensic Science Ireland for analysis.
Both men have since been charged and appeared before a special sitting of Wexford District Court tonight.
The woman has since been released without charge and a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions, Gardaí said.
Comments are closed as the case is before the courts.
