Four held after heroin seizure

Four people were arrested today after drugs with an estimated street value of one million euro and a large amount of cash were seized by Dublin gardai.

Officers from Sundrive Road Drug Unit, assisted by the Detective Unit from Crumlin Garda Station, made the arrests in Walkinstown.

Gardai believe the drugs to be heroin – the second significant seizure of the drug in the capital this week.

A garda spokesman said: “Three males and one female were arrested and are being detained at both Sundrive Road and Crumlin Garda Stations under the provisions of Section 2 of the Drug Trafficking Act 1996.

“The three males range in age from mid 20s to mid 40s and the female is in her mid 40s.

“They can be detained for a period up to seven days.”

Yesterday three men were arrested after heroin worth around 1.2 million euro was seized in west Dublin.
