Gardaí have arrested three men and seized over €20,000 worth of suspected drugs in Limerick city on 2 June 2020.
Whilst carrying out a patrol on Condell Road at around 3am, Gardaí from Mayorstone Park saw a car driving erratically. The three occupants of the car, all aged in their 30s, were arrested and brought to Henry Street Garda Station for the purpose of a search.
Once back in the station, a search of the driver was carried out and €800 of suspected cocaine was found. No drugs were found on the other two occupants of the car and they were released without charge. The driver of the car was later released and a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
