Three people have been arrested and over €1m in drugs and €550k in cash seized in connection with an investigation into organised crime in Dublin.
A number of vehicles were spotted by gardai yesterday evening at around 6pm in the Donore Road and North Road areas of Drogheda, Co Louth.
Two men, aged 50 and 39, and a woman aged 43, were arrested on suspicion of enhancing the ability of an organised crime gang to commit a serious offence.
They are currently being held under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act 2007, at Garda stations in Dublin.
After they were nabbed, searches were carried out in Dublin, Meath, Louth and Wexford.
Cash worth more than €550k, along with drugs including cocaine worth more than €1.1 million were found.
Three vehicles, six high value watches, two encrypted communications devices and two signal blocking devices were also seized.
Detective Chief Superintendent Angela Willis, head of bureau at the Garda National Drugs & Organised Crime Bureau, said: "The Garda National Drugs & Organised Crime Bureau continues to pursue those involved in serious and organised crime, while restrictions on movement associated with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) are in place, leading to another successful outcome to an operation, involving the seizure of significant quantities of controlled drugs and cash and other property believed to be the proceeds of crime and the arrest of three suspects."
