Cork Gardaí seize cocaine and cannabis worth thousands
Detectives uncovered a substantial stash of illicit substances during a residential search in East Cork this week. One young man was detained at the scene and subsequently charged to appear in court.
Gardaí seized a combined total of €312,000 in suspected cocaine and cannabis during a planned search operation at a domestic property in Carrigtwohill, County Cork. The targeted raid was executed on Wednesday by officers attached to the Midleton Crime Unit, who received operational support from the Cork County Divisional Drugs Unit and additional regional personnel.
During the thorough search of the residence, law enforcement officers recovered more than two kilograms of suspected cocaine with an estimated street value of €200,000. Additionally, vacuum-packed quantities of suspected cannabis valued at over €112,000 were confiscated as part of the ongoing crackdown on regional criminality.
A man in his twenties was arrested at the location and transported to a Garda station within the Cork County Division for questioning. He has since been charged in connection with the seizure and was scheduled to appear before Midleton District Court.
