An Garda Síochána has shared the spoils of a drug raid that saw the confiscation of millions of euros worth of illegal substances.
The raid, which took place in Ashbourne, Co. Meath, took place yesterday and resulted in the arrests of two men. The operation took place at two separate locations. Gardaí found both cannabis herb and cocaine. The drugs are estimated to have a total value of several million.
Assistant Commissioner John O’Driscoll said “”An Garda Síochána national units within Special Crime Operations (SCO) continue to target a range of criminality associated with organised crime.”
“In this regard there is a particular emphasis, firstly, on protecting life and tackling threat to life incidents, but also, on targeting the sale of drugs and other illicit products and, importantly, targeting the financial gain and money laundering involved.”
Photos shared to the Garda Síochána Facebook show large boxes and packs of drugs.
