Gardaí seize over €18m in drugs

GARDAÍ have scored another major blow against one of the country's largest drug gangs with the seizure of 200kg of cannabis during a raid on a business premises in south-west Dublin.

The haul is the third major garda success against the Dublin-based gang in the past two months.

The raid was part of an ongoing operation which has specifically targeted the criminals who are believed to be the biggest importers of cannabis into Ireland. Over E18 million worth of the drug has now been seized this summer, following the latest raid which recovered cannabis with an estimated street value of over E2 million.
