Garda raid in Dublin nets €1.7 million worth of cocaine and two arrests
Police in Dublin seized drugs valued at €1.7 million and detained two men after an intelligence-led operation targeting an organised gang.
Following an intelligence-driven investigation, Gardaí, together with the Revenue Commissioners, the national drugs and organised crime bureau and a divisional drugs unit, raided a residence in north Dublin. Inside, officers uncovered vacuum-sealed foil packages holding roughly 17.35 kg of a substance believed to be cocaine, with a street value of about €1.7 million. Two suspects, one in his 30s and another in his 50s, were arrested and are being detained under the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996.
The seized material will be sent to Forensic Science Ireland for analysis, which will guide any forthcoming prosecutions. This operation targets an organised drug-trafficking network operating in the city.
Why it matters
The seizure disrupts a major drug-trafficking operation and highlights coordinated law-enforcement efforts in Ireland.
