As part of on-going intelligence-led operations targeting Organised Crime and the sale and supply of controlled drugs in the Kildare and Offaly area, An Garda Síochána have seized drugs and arrested a woman.
At approximately 6pm yesterday evening detective Gardai from the Kildare Division assisted by the Tullamore Detective Unit carried out a planned search of an apartment at Granary Court, Edenderry, Co. Offaly. During the search cannabis, ecstasy and cocaine with an estimated combined street value of up to €50,000 (pending analysis) was seized. Drug paraphernalia was also seized.
A woman in her 40’s was arrested at the scene and is currently detained under the provisions of Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996 at Kildare Garda Station.
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 seizures also help protect communities from the devastating impact of drugs and the associated criminality.
