MDMA worth an estimated €90,000 was also found.

A TEENAGER WAS arrested this morning after a €140,000 drugs bust in Clondalkin.

As part of ongoing operations targeting the sale and supply of drugs in west Dublin, members of the Ronanstown Drugs Unit carried out an operation at Collinstown Park in Clondalkin.

During the operation, a 18-year-old man was searched and found in possession of cocaine with an estimated street value in excess of €50,000. The man was arrested and is currently detained at Ronanstown Garda station under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.
