Arrests expected in Dublin drug wholesale outfit
Officers in Coolock dealt a blow to the network after they seized at least €1.5 million worth of cocaine. The gang is led by a notorious Traveller family that supplies drugs to gangs across north Dublin.
The bosses have gone to ground since gardaí from the Coolock Drugs Unit raided a number of their properties and seized 21kg of cocaine. At a standard street price of €70,000 per kilo, the consignment is estimated to be worth €1.5m. However, a high percentage of the find is thought to contain high-purity cocaine, so the final valuation may be higher.
