Man (50s) arrested in Dublin as Gardaí seize €8 million worth of drugs and €1 million in cash

More cash, vehicles, and designer goods were seized in a number of follow-up searches across the Dublin Metropolitan Region.

A MAN IN his 50s has been arrested following a search of a house in Dublin by Gardaí, which resulted in the seizure of over €8,000,000 of suspected illegal drugs and €1,000,000 in cash.

The suspected illegal drugs include cocaine, cannabis, ketamine, LSD, and MDMA.

They have been sent to Forensic Science Ireland (FSI) to undergo analysis.

More cash, vehicles, and designer goods were seized in a number of follow-up searches across the Dublin Metropolitan Region.

The man has been detained pursuant to Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996, at a Garda Station in the Dublin area.

Angela Willis, Assistant Commissioner in the Dublin Metropolitan Region said, “The seizure of what is a significant quantity of drugs and cash is a major blow to this organised crime group which has been causing so much misery in communities right across the city.”

“Cash is the lifeblood of crime groups and the seizure of amounts of this scale causes significant disruption. Gardaí continue to target those that destroy lives through their activities.”

Gardaí  have said that investigations are ongoing.
