Two Men Arrested Over Kildare Drug Seizure

Two men have been arrested during an intelligence-led operation targeting the sale and supply of controlled drugs in the Kildare area on Thursday.

Gardaí assisted by the Regional Support Unit arrested two men, aged 47 and 38, at around midnight for possession of cannabis and heroin worth an estimated €40,000 at a house in Athy.

Garda said: "These operations use 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."
