Man to appear in court in connection with drugs bust

A MAN is due to appear in court this morning in connection with the discovery of a cocaine factory in Dublin on Friday night.

Two other men, who were also arrested as part of the drugs and guns bust, were still being questioned last night.

As part of Operation Anvil, a huge crackdown on organised crime, gardaí raided a warehouse in an industrial estate in Walkinstown, south Dublin on Friday. They uncovered about 7kg of cocaine, worth an estimated €500,000 on the street, depending on forensic analysis. Officers found other signs of a cocaine factory, including vacuuming machines and pressing equipment.
