At approximately 10.30am Gardaí from the newly amalgamated Organised Crime Unit and Garda National Drug Unit stopped and searched two cars on Harold Road, Dublin 7. During a search of one of cars, a Taxi, two males were found concealed in the boot. The driver was the sole occupant of the second car.
