Gardai from Ronanstown have arrested a teenager and seized a haul of drugs worth over one and a half million euro.
Approximately 108kg of what is believed to be cannabis resin with a street value of around €800,000 and 62kg of what is believed to be cannabis herb with an estimated street value of €750,000 has been seized by gardaí.
The find was made at approximately 5.15am on Sunday at Fonthill Road, Clondalkin, Dublin.

An 18-year old man was arrested near the scene, and is currently being detained at Ronanstown Garda Station. The find was carried out by members of the District Drugs Unit assisted by uniformed members from Ronanstown Garda Station.
