GARDAÍ HAVE ARRESTED two men in connection to a seizure of over €550,000 of suspected cannabis and cocaine in Monaghan and Galway yesterday.
Additionally, €65,000 in cash, four cars and a Rolex watch were seized during the searches after a total of six locations were searched in the two counties yesterday.
The operation was targeting an organised crime gang suspected of involvement in the importation and sale of controlled drugs in the north east and west of Ireland, a Garda spokesperson said.
The men, aged in their forties and fifties, are currently detained at a Garda station in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996.
The drugs seized will now be forwarded to Forensic Science Ireland for further analysis.
