A man in his 30s has been arrested after €130,000 of drugs were seized by gardaí in Tallaght.

In a search on Saturday afternoon, cocaine and heroin, with a street value of over €130,000 (subject to analysis), was seized. Drug paraphernalia was also seized.

All of the suspected drugs will now be sent to Forensic Science Ireland (FSI) for analysis.

One man, aged in his 30s, was arrested during the search and detained under Section 2 Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996 at a Garda station in Dublin.

He has since been released without charge and a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
