Gardaí have recovered a firearm and seized drugs during an operation in Tallaght yesterday afternoon (11/4/2018).
The discovery was made as part of a planned day of action in the Tallaght area when a house was searched in the Bawnlea area by members of the local Drugs Unit. A double barrel shot gun and a quantity of controlled drugs were found at the scene. A stolen motorcycle was also recovered during the search. A man in his late teens was arrested and detained under Section 30 of the Offences against the State Act, 1939 at Tallaght Garda Station.
The man arrested during the operation is expected to appear before a sitting of Dublin District Court (C.C.J. 1) this morning (12/4/2018) charged in connection with the investigation.
