Ireland: Gardaí seize cannabis and prescription drugs

In an intelligence led operation targeting the activities of an organised criminal gang, Gardaí stopped a truck and a car at St Margaret's Road in Finglas shortly before 7pm on Saturday night.

One hundred kilograms of Cannabis resin, with a street value of €600,000, and over 40,000 prescription drugs were discovered and seized.

The value of the prescription drugs is hard to determine before testing is carried out.

Two men, in their 30s, were arrested and detained under Section 2 of the Drug Trafficking Act, 1996 at Finglas Garda Station.

The men can be held for up to seven days before charges are made.
