Gardaí from Kevin Street and Kilmainham Garda Stations carried out a road safety operation in Dublin, yesterday, Tuesday 11th February 2025.
A number of checkpoints were carried out in the Dublin 2 and Dublin 8 areas with an emphasis on enforcement and road safety awareness.
During the course of this operation, a probationer Garda member observed a driver engage in suspicious behaviour while approaching a checkpoint and searched the vehicle. This search resulted in the seizure of €350,000 of cocaine and £15,000 cash sterling.
The driver, a man aged in his 30s, was arrested by the probationer member and is currently detained under section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996 at a Garda station in South Dublin.
