quarter-million euro cocaine haul seized in limerick
Authorities removed a massive stash of suspected cocaine and cash from a city home during a targeted operation. The suspect faces detention while forensic experts analyse the seized narcotics.
Gardaí from the Limerick Divisional Drugs Unit, supported by regional colleagues, executed a warrant at a residential property in Limerick city on Monday, 21 September 2026. This action formed part of a sustained campaign to disrupt the local distribution of narcotics.
During the search, officers recovered suspected cocaine with an estimated street value of €275,000, alongside more than €9,000 in cash. A male suspect in his twenties was taken into custody and transported to a local Garda station.
The individual remains detained under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996. The seized substances have been forwarded to Forensic Science Ireland for laboratory analysis, while further inquiries into the case continue.
