As part of ongoing investigations targeting the supply of controlled substances into prisons in west Dublin, Gardaí from the Dublin Crime Response Team (DCRT) stopped a vehicle as part of a planned operation in the Dublin 22 area yesterday afternoon, Tuesday 28th October 2025.
Gardaí conducted a search of the vehicle and in the course of the search seized approximately €40,000 worth of controlled drugs (subject to analysis), a number of electronic devices, additional contraband and a high-tech drone.
The suspected drugs (cocaine, heroin, cannabis and MDMA) were individually wrapped and packaged for conveyance.
Two males, both in their 40s, were arrested at the scene and are currently detained under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996 at a Garda Station in the Dublin Region.
Investigations are ongoing.
