Three Arrested Over Drugs Seizures
Three people have been arrested after the discovery of cocaine worth almost €1.25million in Finglas and Blanchardstown.
The seizures were made as the result of an ongoing operation targeting criminal activity and drug dealing in Dublin.
The finds were a combination of three separate operations by specialist units in the capital.
In the first find, a house was searched in Blakestown earlier Thursday evening. This operation was carried out by detectives from the Blanchardstown Drug and Detective Units and during the course of the search cocaine, with an estimated street value, subject to analysis, in excess of one million euro was seized.
Various drug distribution paraphernalia was also seized which included a compression press and mixing agents.
A 26-year-old man was arrested and is presently in custody in Finglas Garda Station under the Drug Trafficking Act.
Up to 2kgs of cocaine were also recovered in two other separate operations in Finglas and Blanchardstown.
Soon after, 1kg was discovered when a house was searched in Finglas while another was discovered when a man was stopped while he was transferring it in a car.
Both men have been detained.
