Man arrested on Saturday after gardaí seize 67 kilos of cocaine worth €4.69 million in Leopardstown

Gardaí have seized more than €4.6 million worth of cocaine in LeopardstownGardaí believe a consignment of cocaine seized in Dublin, and valued at almost €5 million, had originated in Spain and was destined for the Irish market, rather than being transited through the Republic to the UK.

It continues a pattern of Irish gangs seeking to move multimillion Euro consignments of cocaine in single shipments rather in multiple runs, which involve more risk. Garda sources said while the Republic was in the grips of a cost-of-living spike, the economy was booming, with near full employment, adding those economic conditions had always given rise to a surge in demand for cocaine.

Assistant Commissioner John O’Driscoll, who leads the specialist units in the Garda that investigate organised crime, said the latest operation showed the force was continuing to enjoy success against Irish drugs gangs.
