Two charged after €2.3 million worth of drugs seized in Dublin

Two men have been charged following a significant drug seizure operation conducted by Irish police in Dublin. The operation, carried out by Gardaí, resulted in the arrest of a man in his 50s and a man in his 60s on suspicion of drug trafficking. The men were found in possession of 18kg of suspected cocaine, valued at €1.8m (£1.5m), and an additional 4kg of suspected cocaine, valued at €400,000 (£343,000), seized from a vehicle at the scene.

Further searches of properties in Dublin uncovered an additional 5,000 MDMA tablets, valued at €50,000 (£43,000), and 4kg of cannabis, valued at €56,000 (£48,000). The combined street value of all the seized drugs is estimated to be over €2.3m (£1.9m). Both men are set to appear in Dublin District Court on Monday, with investigations ongoing.
