Drugs And Money Seized In North Inner City
Gardaí have seized drugs and money in a joint operation with Revenue Customs Service in Dublin's north inner city.
Authorities uncovered approximately 50 kgs of herbal cannabis, subject to analysis, and an estimated €1m in cash. It is understood that the drugs and money were concealed in a consignment of soap from Spain.
Three men were arrested in connection with the seizure and are being held under Section 2 Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996.
Gardaí said that the operation used advanced analytical and intelligence methods to disrupt criminals and dismantle their networks.
"Drug seizures play a critical role in targeting the livelihood of criminals and reducing their ability to carry out illegal activities. Drug seizures also help protect communities from the devastating impact of drugs and the associated criminality," a Garda statement said.
