Nine arrested in biggest drugs raid in west of Ireland
The early-morning raids on dwelling houses, commercial premises and professional offices, follows an investigation that has been ongoing for months. One Galway family in the Bohermore area of the city centre has been at the centre of the probe as gardaí investigate a multi-million drugs operation in the west of Ireland.
The Galway suspects are believed to have links to a family in Sligo and to one of the Limerick feuding families. Gardaí arrested nine men in their 20s and 30s as part of Operation Foolscap which swung into action early yesterday morning.
