As part of on-going intelligence-led operations targeting the sale and supply of drugs by an organised crime gang in the Clondalkin/Ballyfermot area, Gardai from the Garda National Drugs Unit, Organised Crime Unit and local drugs unit based in Clondalkin arrested two males (33yrs,46yrs).
The males were arrested in Newcastle, Co Dublin shortly before noon today the 7th May. During the operation 6 kilos of Heroin (subject to analysis) with an estimated street value of €900,000 were seized.
These operations use advanced analytical and intelligence methods to disrupt criminals and dismantle their networks. Drug seizures play a critical role in targeting the livelihood of criminals and reducing their ability to carry out illegal activities. Drug siezures also help protect communities from the devasting impact of drugs and the associated criminality.
