As part of an ongoing operation targeting the sale and supply of controlled drugs in the Dublin inner city area, Gardaí have seized heroin and cannabis along with arresting 2 males.
Gardai from the Kevin Street Drug Unit and the South Central Task Force conducted a planned search of a residence at Oliver Bond House early this morning. During the search heroin with an estimated street value of €90,000 (pending analysis) was seized.
A male in his late 20’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 Kevin Street Garda Station.
In a follow up search at a second residence in Oliver Bond House cannabis with an estimated street value of €5,000 (pending analysis) was seized and a 2nd male (in his 30’s) was arrested. He was detained at Kilmainham Garda Station under the provisions of Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 but has since been released without charge and a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
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.
