Tánaiste praises gardaí after €3m drugs and rifle seizure

Tánaiste and Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald has praised the actions of gardaí following the seizure of €3m worth of drugs, as well as an assault rifle, from a house in Kildare over the weekend.

Gardaí from the Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau, supported by the Special Crime Task Force, seized the weapons, ammunition, and suspected heroin and cocaine following a search of the house in Sallins, Co Kildare.

“The ongoing operation at Sallins underlines again the fact that An Garda Síochána are being relentless and resourceful in tackling the menace of organised crime gangs,” said Ms Fitzgerald.
