As part of an intelligence operation directed against organized crime, the Garda National Office for Drugs and Organized Crime (GNDOCB) carried out an intervention on three vehicles.

A Garda spokesman said in a statement: “During the course of the operation, Gardaí seized cocaine worth 350,000 euros and cannabis worth 260,000 euros (pending analysis).”

Three men, ages 49, 46 and 42, were arrested at the scene.

They are currently being detained pursuant to section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996 at Garda stations in North Dublin.
