Gardaí have seized approximately €100,000 worth of suspected drugs and arrested one man during an operation targeting the sale and supply of drugs in the Dublin Metropolitan Region (DMR) North on Thursday.
A total of seven premises were searched in the Dublin 5 and Dublin 13 areas on Thursday afternoon.
The searches were conducted by the District Drugs Units in Raheny and Coolock, with assistance from the Community Policing Unit, Street Crime Unit and National Dog Unit.
During the course of the searches, quantities of suspected cannabis herb and cocaine were seized, with an estimated value of approximately €100,000.
The drugs have been sent to Forensic Science Ireland (FSI) for analysis.
A man, aged in his 20s, was arrested during the course of the operation and detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 at a Garda station in North Dublin.
He has since been charged and is due to appear before the Criminal Courts of Justice on Friday morning.
Gardaí said investigations are ongoing.
