Gardaí have arrested two people and seized €205,000 of suspected drugs in Limerick on April 21, 2020.
Shortly before 10pm, Gardaí from the Divisional Drugs Unit in Limerick were assisting with Covid-19 patrols when they stopped a car in the Kilteely area of Co. Limerick.
Gardaí searched the car and subsequently discovered €70,000 of suspected cocaine. The occupant of the car, a man in his 30s, was arrested at the scene and brought to Henry Street where he is currently detained under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996.
A search warrant was later executed at a premises in Knockainey, Co. Limerick and Gardaí seized a further €100,000 of suspected cannabis herb and €35,000 of suspected cocaine. A woman in her 20’s was arrested at that location. She was taken to Henry Street Garda Station where she is also detained under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking Act) Act, 1996.
All of the suspected drugs will now be sent for analysis.
