As part of an ongoing investigation into Drug Trafficking and Organised Crime in the Dublin area, two vehicles were stopped in the Coolock/Santry area of Dublin by members of the newly formed Garda Drugs and Organised Crime Unit, during the course of a search of these vehicles a large amount of Cannabis Herb with a street value of half a million euros was seized.
A total of four males(27,30,36 and 58 years) were arrested in these vehicles. The males are being detained in Ballymun and Coolock Garda Stations under the provision of Section 2 of the Drug Trafficking Act 1996 as amended. Follow up searches are currently underway.
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.
