Heroin and crack cocaine worth thousands seized in south Dublin raid

A woman has been released without charge in relation to a raid that saw €50,000 of drugs and a sum of cash seized by gardai in the Tallaght area this morning.

Shortly before 9am, uniformed and detective Gardaí based at Tallaght Station searched a residence in the Tallaght area of Dublin 24.

The raid comes as part of ongoing investigations targeting local drugs distribution networks and related crime.

During the search of the property, Gardaí recovered quantities of suspected heroin and crack cocaine with a combined estimated street value in excess of €50k, analysis pending.

A sum of cash, scales and mobile devices were also seized.

A garda spokesman said: "A woman aged in her 30s was arrested and taken to Tallaght Garda Station where she was detained for questioning under section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.

"She has since been released without charge and a file will now be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions."

The drugs will be sent for examination and analysis to FSI.
