As part of a joint Operation between the Drugs & Organised Crime Bureau (DOCB) and Revenue & Customs a car was stopped at Citywest Avenue, Citywest Business Park, Dublin on the 19th November 2015.
During the course of a search of the car, 20 kilos of cannabis herb (pending analysis) with an approx street value of €400,000 was seized. A male (55 years) was arrested and is being detained at Clondalkin under the provisions of Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996 as amended.
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.
