A man has been arrested in connection with the seizure of cannabis herb and resin with an estimated street value of almost €4 million in north Co Dublin.
An Garda Síochána said as part of ongoing investigations targeting organised crime, personnel attached to the force’s National Drugs & Organised Crime Bureau, supported by the Special Crime Task Force, carried out an operation.
A vehicle was intercepted in the Balbriggan area shortly after 7pm on Friday. When it was searched, 187kg of cannabis herb and 30kg of cannabis resin was seized.
A man in his 20s was arrested in connection with the seizure and brought to a north Dublin garda station for questioning under Section 2 of Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996. He can be held for up to seven days.
