Two men (50s) to appear in court over €1.5m cannabis seizure in Dublin
Two men, both aged in their 50s, who were arrested after gardaí seized €1.52 million worth of suspected illegal cannabis in South Dublin on Thursday, have since been charged.
They are due to appear before the District Court at the Criminal Courts of Justice on Saturday.
During a search warrant, the Dublin Crime Response Team seized approximately 73kg of cannabis herb and 10kg of cannabis resin, with a combined value of approximately €1.52 million.
The drugs seized are now subject to technical analysis by Forensic Science Ireland (FSI).
Commenting on the seizures, Acting Assistant Commissioner Dublin Metropolitan Region, Jonathan Roberts said:"This is yet another example of the relentless efforts by members of An Garda Síochána to target criminality that causes the most harm in our communities.
"This seizure of illicit drugs in a specific targeted operation, in addition to a number of other significant seizures in the city centre and across the region in the past number of days demonstrates our commitment to removing harmful drugs from circulation.
"An Garda Siochána remains committed to bringing those willing to engage in the supply of illicit drugs before the courts.”
Gardaí say investigations are ongoing.
