Three held after Limerick heroin seizure

Gardaí in Limerick are questioning three men who were arrested following a major seizure of heroin in the city.

Members of Limerick Drug Squad seized 2.5 kilos of the drug with an estimated street value of €500,000 during a planned garda operation last night. The three suspects – including two non-nationals thought to be from Nigeria and Sierra Leone and a Limerick man – are being questioned at Henry Street.
