Gardaí and Revenue seize significant haul of illegal substances
Authorities successfully intercepted a substantial quantity of illicit narcotics during a coordinated multi-agency operation in Dublin this week. Two women remain in custody as investigators continue to examine the evidence recovered from the targeted premises.
A sophisticated intelligence-led operation conducted by the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau, the Coolock District Drugs Unit, and the Revenue Customs Service resulted in a major drug seizure in Dublin on Friday, 18 September 2026. Revenue officers initially intercepted 5.7 kilograms of herbal cannabis, valued at approximately €79,800, during the first phase of the intervention.
Following this initial discovery, Gardaí executed a follow-up search that uncovered a significant cache of suspected cocaine, estimated to be worth €368,000. Officers also recovered €27,900 in cash and various items of drug paraphernalia. The total value of the controlled substances seized throughout the course of the operation reached €447,800.
Two women, both in their 20s, were arrested at the scene and are currently being held at Garda stations in North Dublin. They are being detained under the provisions of Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act 1996. Gardaí have confirmed that investigations into the matter are ongoing.
