A "joint operation" in every sense of the phrase...

A woman in her 30s has been arrested after Gardaí discovered cannabis to the value of €30,000 contained in crisp packets in Dublin this week. The discovery came after, perhaps fittingly under the circumstances, a “joint operation” involving the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau (GNDOCB), the Revenue Customs Service and the drugs unit in the Dublin Metropolitan North region. A picture posted on Twitter showed the cannabis seized in the Artane area of Dublin, alongside packets of nacho cheese, flamin’ hot nachos and cheddar puffs. https://twitter.com/gardainfo/status/1324684553966026752 In a statement, Gardaí said the woman was arrested at the scene and detained at Raheny Garda Station under Section 2 of the Drug Trafficking Act, 1996. She was released without charge and a file will now be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions. Main image via Twitter/Garda Info
