Gardaí quiz man over biggest drug haul of the year

A YOUNG man was in custody yesterday after the biggest ecstasy find by gardaí this year, with more than 180,000 tablets seized.

The drugs, with a street value of €1.8 million, were discovered after detectives swooped on a man who was getting out of his car at Neilstown Drive, Clondalkin. The 20-year-old local was searched and taken to Clondalkin Garda Station for questioning.

Officers with the Garda National Drugs Unit were involved in the operation.
