Three arrested after €440k cocaine seizure

GARDAÍ have struck two separate blows against organised crime after they arrested three drug traffickers and nabbed an armed man on a motorbike.

In the first operation, gardaí swooped on two Nigerians and seized 7kg of cocaine after stopping a taxi in Drumcondra, north Dublin, on Wednesday night.

Officers from the Garda National Drugs Unit found the drugs inside hidden compartments in suitcases.
