Gardai and Revenue officers have seized suspected drugs worth €100,00 following a search of two apartments near the city centre.

Members of the Store Street Divisional Drugs Unit seized €60,000 worth of cocaine, methamphetamine and GHB (Gamma-hydroxybutyrate) following the raids yesterday.

They then alerted Revenue of a package containing €40,000 of methamphetamine due to arrive into the country today.

A man in his 40s was arrested following yesterday's searches.

He is currently detained at Store Street garda station under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996.
