Three arrested as gardaí seize heroin worth €1m in family home

GARDAÍ have dealt a blow to a big drug trafficking gang after arresting three key members red-handed at a heroin-mixing centre.

They seized 5kg of heroin, with an estimated street value of €1 million, when they raided a family home in Clondalkin, west Dublin.

The seizure brings to around 120kg the quantity of heroin seized so far this year, some 80% of the total recovered last year.
